I am familiar with the nice and renice commands on the shell, but is there any graphical method (from the User Interface) to actually launch/run an application at a different priority level so to make it use more CPU than it would normally be allocated to it? |

Install htop. It is improved top, ncurses application. Then nice/renice with F7 & F8. Another option is qps. It is Qt app. Open qps find process in question, right click on process -> Renice... If you are using Ubuntu: System -> Administration -> System Monitor, go to 'Processes' tab, righ-click on process and click 'Change Priority...' |
