I'm looking into various programs, especially browsers and medical software. For instance, at work we use a web-based tool that shows upcoming appointments in a queue (we rely on Google Chrome). Sometimes it functions smoothly, but other times it lags when someone moves to another location. At other times, refreshing the browser page is necessary to see the latest list. I’m finding myself needing to restart Chrome to keep things updated automatically. I’m considering adjusting priorities so the PC I’m using updates faster. Of course, there are external factors like network speed and server performance that affect this. I’m just trying to find ways to simplify my workflow.

If it relies on web-based internet, the most probable issue is on the server side because that’s where updates are handled.

It seems some people won't experience the problem while I do. Honestly, it might be related to system connectivity or just how quickly the server responds for different users. Priority shifts can cause instability too.

It won't work unless your CPU is fully busy or nearly so; if it is, raising priority can slow other tasks, and the impact depends on what you're doing.
