Sure. You can change it from NT 4.0's Task Manager. Select the process view, RMB on the Emacs process, and Set priority. >From the command line, you can do nice HIGH to change it to high. I got nice.exe from, gee, where did that come from? Oh, ya, follow http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/tools/Maintnce.htm#top to ftp://ftp.winsite.com/pub/pc/winnt/misc/littles.zip Too bad Emacs' (process-id) function can't return the Emacs process id... you have to use the ps.exe from littles.zip to find it. I'll leave that as an exercise :-)
