ifort process priority

Is it possible to control the priority that the ifort processes are started with in Windows, without affecting the priority of Dev.Studio itself? The point of this is to be able to continue using the computer (and even Dev.Studio) while the building of a project is ongoing, which basicly motivates settings it to a low CPU priority.

(It's similarly possible with VC++ projects by reducing the prio of the vcspawn process which is then inherited by each compiler instance.)

Do you know that adjusting the priority of vcspawn doesn't work for ifort as well? I thought that was what was used to invoke the compiler.

No vcspawn.exe according to Task Manager at least. As one of the "solutions" we have is a combined Fortran/C++ (with the Fortran part built as a static lib, then linked with the C++ projected), it can be easily seen that vcspawn only runs while the C++ project is being built (starting multiple cl.exe processes etc.).
