However, I did come up with a one liner patch for lyx-1.1.6, which calls the nice() system call. It works. The patch for 1.2 looks a bit harder though, because you don't want to 'nice()' most of the conversions - only picture previews. I just looked up whether nice is implemented in cygwin. It looks like it is *not* (but mmap is!). So a configure check will be necessary. Ben.
