This application is intended to reduce running priority of MS Visual Studio compiler and linker processes.

When you build a solution in Visual Studio (2013-2017), it can run multiple cl.exe / link.exe processes that consumes 100% even of multicore CPU.
Those processes run with a normal priority and can make other application's work sluggish, even if the compilation is running in the background.

This application substitutes native cl.exe / link.exe files and spawns them with a lower than normal priority. As a result any other processes get enough CPU time and reacts promptly.

See Readme.txt for installation instructions.
