Figure 3-10 The Remote Graphics Sender service Setting the Windows Sender process priority This section describes how to adjust the process priority of the Windows Sender. The default process priority of the Windows Sender is normal. In some cases, increasing the process priority of the Sender will improve interactivity-for example, when the Windows scheduling algorithms does not give the RGS Sender sufficient CPU time to maintain smooth interactivity. Networking performance can also contribute to reduced interactivity. The Windows Sender on some laptops has exhibited inconsistent performance. Increasing the Sender priority to high usually improves interactivity in this case. This provides the Sender more frequent access to the CPU, and improves the update frequency to the Receiver. Process priority for the Sender is command line accessible for the Windows Sender. Four command-line options are available: -belownormal -normal -abovenormal -high Priorities low and realtime cannot be selected for the Windows Sender. There are two ways to set the process priority of the Windows Sender: • Use regedit to modify the rgsender service start up parameters in the Windows Registry • Use HP Performance Tuning Framework (PTF) to configure Windows Sender priority (available only on HP Workstations) Both methods are described below. CAUTION: Adjusting the process priority of the Sender to a level higher than -normal can cause other normally-privileged processes to receive fewer CPU cycles than normal. Therefore, caution should be observed in adjusting the priority of the Sender. Installing RGS 53
