Affinity and process priority to max cpu's: missing something else?
I have the affiity set for both processors to get in on the action and I want to max them out on a encoding project which is the sole purpose for the computer during that operation.

Each time I bump up the process priority, eventually all the way to real-time, only one processor steps up with more involvement in the encoding. What's worse, as one processor steps up, the other one steps down so overall I don't get any increase in dedication to the project because instead of running about 55% equally at normal priority, one processor is running at about 90% and the other is whistling dixie at 10 or 15% usage at real-time priority.

Is there a setting I don't know about in Vista to get'em both cranking or am I stuck with a reserve for other operations even though the computer is purpose-dedicated?
