Well the problem is.. is using start is for win32 programs, not dos programs 
which use command.com not cmd.exe.  Also that would only set the program 
itself to low priority, not the NTVDM program which emulates DOS.. but try 
this. run 2 dos doors, or programs then go into task manager, and set both of 
the NTVDM's to low priority, and you'll see things jump and speed up and 
actally work smooth together!!
