Process priority - iTunes and that "bzzzt"
Hi guys - I'm rather enjoying occasionally reverting to the 80s using internet radio on iTunes. Sad eh?

Anyway, whenever I resume the desktop, iTunes (9.2) gives a short "bzzzt". So it seems to me the PC isn't giving iTunes the resources it needs at times. This "bzzzt" can also occur (rarely) when the PC is busy.

It's an older Dell, dual core 3.4 GHz with 4Gb RAM, Win 7 Professional 32 bit. I kinda think this should be plenty for iTunes, and it's rare for other resource hogs to be running.

My first thought was to assign a higher priority, however it seems that doing so in the task manager only remains current for the session. The world wide wait according to Google is suitably vague (more likely user issues AKA GIGO).

Does anyone have experience with Prio - Priority Saver, or can you recommend some other ways to give iTunes full priority - perhaps give it 100% of one of the cores?
