Oh, I have it on low priority and do other stuff during the day, and 
turn it up to normal at night and close everything else...I just don't
like being able to really do high-end stuff (using the scanner, burning
a cd (actually burning a cd doesn't really need me to pause the render),
playing Terminus, downloading anime from the newsgroup a.b.m.a ...) 
while POV is even at low priority.
