This is a problem if you use WinRAR to compress such [color="sienna"]large map files[/color], your computer may freeze the package for a period, this may bring help for this problem

Do you know "Windows" shares the processor time between all running processes based upon their priority? If a process has higher priority, it gets more processor time compared to a process having lower priority.

But we can change process priority using "Windows Task Manager". Open Task Manager by right-clicking on Taskbar and select "Task Manager" or by pressing "Ctrl+Shift+Esc" keys together.

Once you open Task Manager, go to "Processes" tab, right-click on any running process and change the priority using "Set Priority" menu. You'll notice some system processes are set to "High" priority and almost all 3rd party processes are set to "Normal" by default.

Although you can change the priority according to your requirement, but the priority is not set permanently. Once you restart your system, Windows forgets your custom priority and assigns the process default priority.

So how to set a process priority permanent? Don't worry, here is the solution.

"Prio" is a free for personal use utility which solves the problem. It adds a new option "Save Priority" in "Set Priority" menu:

So now you can save the priority permanently.

It works in Windows XP, Vista and 7. It also adds a few extra features as mentioned below:

* Adds a new tab "Services" which shows the installed processes along with their status
* Adds another new tab "TCP/IP" which shows all established TCP/IP connections and all open ports
* Adds a new option "Silent Elevation" which allows you to execute a software with administrative privileges
