There are two settings on the menu that will affect how many resources
POV-Ray will use. Go to the render menu and you will see a render
priority dialog and a gui priority dialog. Try setting the render
and gui priority settings to 'lowest' and you will get more priority
for your other programs.
Note: POV-Ray can still be a hungry beast even at the lowest settings
depending upon how resource hungry your other programs are.
To select multiple files to render go to the render menu and select
the file_queue alt+q option which will allow you to select multiple
files that will be rendered in turn depending upon position in the
queue.
