I'm writting the code with the win32 module I found. The way I'm
planning on attacking the problem after reading all the remarks is as
follows:
1.) have the program run a full system index, and once it completes it
turn the flag on a configuration file to true
2.) after this initial index, every

Yes it should. The problem is that I notice a loss in performance when
the program is running at 100% CPU. Even though it is nice, if you try
to open up new applications, or switch between them, you notice your
computer lagging a little bit. That's why even though I'm not using
the cpu that much

I think you can keep your sleep commands in your program to keep it
from hogging the cpu even when you are running it as nice.
You know, even more important than cpu load (since your indexer is
accessing the hard drive, is hard drive access..) You can monitor the
bytes / second going to the hard
Thanks for all the replies.
I did try using nice under windows. I created a java program that
would just loop and print numbers on the screen. Even when I ran that
simple program with nice, (lets call it program A) as soon as I started
the program the cpu went all the way to 100% usage. Then wh

You need to define w

Perhaps looking at some ScreenSaver code could be useful
I've never considered how this is done myself,
but ScreeS
There's probably a way to tell how long the user has been idle, but here's
how you can check the CPU load to see if it's elevated... (of course
your program might elevate it too.)
On linux, you can read from /proc/loadavg
Here's a fun thing to try on windows...
make sure you have the win32all
