Okay, i have an old P60 and there are running many processes that I can kill
with it. With 150% I mean that there is an acceleration of 50%, of course (think
of your math lessons). I'm sorry for this mistake!
You should set PTOP's Priority to "high" then at least the two programs, POV and
PTOP are reacting properly.
