In general, I want POV to take all available cpu. It is only when I want to 
do other things alongside a render that I experience a severe 
slowdown/stalling of those other processes. I do not care too much but 
sometimes that is annoying.

Overheating can sometimes be an issue, especially during summer, but can 
this not be resolved by the Duty Cycle?

Well, I suppose so, but Render Priority worked well with 3.6 and lower and I 
wondered if something equivalent was possible with 3.7 (and multicores of 
course).
