FIrst you have to move processor consuming processes to a seperate thread

second you set the thread periorty to lowerst ( or better leave it as a user setting )

3rd use threadpool.queueworkitem

4th you can consider the background worker control

consider upgrade CPU . this is a no-coding solution

Leaving aside the issue of efficiency, you can improve responsiveness to other applications on the PC by including a call to sleep for say 5 milli-seconds in your main loop.

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.threading.thread.sleep.aspx

If your application is WinForms, then it would have been best asked at:

Are you doing something that would be expected to be processor intensive? Have you profiled your application and done Big-O analysis of your algorithms?

without knowing what you have developed it will be very difficult to provide a solution.

a possible issues could be if you are running continues loops, the cpu usage will be high.

To get around this, you could convert this into a windows service with a timer to run every x seconds/minutes. You could leave it as an application and run as a scheduled task to run every x seconds/minutes.

Hi, I have developed a windows tool, which is occupying the high cpu usage while running. Sometimes other programs are being struck when running the tool. The tool does many process in the system. But i dont want to take more usage of CPU. Application is in final stage. Please provide solution for my problem.

Thanks in Advance.
