[TIPS] For people who lag while using HonorBuddy

[Innorman]

Many people complain about lag or freeze when HonorBuddy is running. I found a solution to fix this problem.

1. Go to your task manager

2. Search for "Wow.exe*32" in the Processes Tab or "Wow.exe" in the Details Tab under Windows 8

3. Right-click on it

4. Choose Set Priority to Realtime

5. Then Change Priority

Hi, Innorman,

Setting the WoWclient to "Above Normal" is indeed a trick we've documented several times for various issues. (Ref: Honorbuddy Helpdesk).

However, moving ANY process to "Realtime" is a good way to lock up your system and cause other problems. A Realtime process will not be preempted by timers, and will lock any other processes out of the CPU cores on which it wants to run. This includes critical background tasks, like mouse and keyboard polling, and the disk cache management. The term for this degenerate situation is "priority inversion".

Realtime processes were meant to execute very quickly and go back to sleep. Programs like the WoWclient do not fit this description.

cheers,
