XG's analyze run as low priority even though the program has normal priority. That way you can use your PC normaly while the analyze if going on.

Priority level are quite complex in Windows. You define the program priority and then each thread has a priority level within the overall program priority.

Your best choice if you want to run both together is to set both to use only half the core available for each. For instance if you have a Quad core:

  • in XG go to Options/analysis and uncheck "auto configure" for the # of thread and set it to 2.
  • In GnuBG got ot Options/Other and set the # of thread to 2.

The downside is that when one is done the other will not be able to use the rest of the CPU resources.
