I'm wondering what's up with Limewire 4.9.1 raising its own priority on WinXP myself. I have very good reasons for lowering its priority in Task Manager, including "it makes all other apps on the machine unusable if I don't". And even when LW has been set to low priority it still seems to grab the CPU and slow other tasks down (which I thought was theoretically impossible!) -- even soemtimes rendering task manager itself (which runs at high priority) unresponsive.
And to top this off, within days of installing 4.9.1 this happens: my web browser becomes unresponsive, along with task manager, and when I finally get task manager to respond it shows Limewire back to "normal" priority! I didn't raise it. It should respect the user's choice if they change it, and not change it back. I hope you removed this misfeature in ... oh, nevermind. I won't be upgrading ever again anyway it seems. Not if I want to keep my sanity, since nothing I download (images and text files, mainly, and all quite innocuous) has any kind of license file and the only wmv files I ever see are spam I don't want anyway.
