What can I do to reduce CPU usage for climateprediction? I\'d like to run this in the background without my processor fan kicking into high gear. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Howvere, if you want to use less, use ThreadMaster. You should be able to find it with Google. ID: 19568 · Reply Quote
