Does this by any chance increase the probabilities of CTD's occuring? I don't know if it's true or not but I always felt it CTD's because the AI doesn't have enough time to "think" or when it's rushed. That's why when it's slowed down with fow off and watching the moves, it doesn't CTD.
-edit-
Oh and, how can you set the priority to high without ALT+CTRL+DEL?
