  That's a task for the operating system to do, not the program. All
modern multitasking operating systems have process priorities (although
I don't remember if you can actually fine-tune it manually in Windows).

  In Unix-type systems you simple start povray with 'nice' (or renice it
afterwards with 'renice' or with 'top').
