With this tool you can set the MATLAB(R) process priority class and the thread priority. You can also set priorities for other programs from MATLAB (new feature). It is possible to use the commands set_priority and get_priority directly or you can use the convientent user interface. To install just unzip and add the directory to your matlab path. Use the highest priorites with care since they might block out your mouse and other basic fuctionality in windows.
