Does FAH run when the computer is already busy tho unattended?

I run some audio and video transcoding unattended, and would like FAH to run only when the transcoding is not. Does the default lower priority at which FAH runs prevent it from interfering with the a/v work?

Thx. ITG

CPU tasks are run at a very low priority, and rarely interfere with other CPU tasks. The GPU has no priorities, and will interfere with other GPU tasks.

Thanks for the info. It sounds like either the transcoding or FAH may need to be prevented from running GPU tasks. Since neither Media Monkey for audio, nor Handbrake for video, makes much use of my usual machines' limited gpu capabilities, I'll trim settings on that side.
