Thread Priority for Agent

By default, the agent sets the lowest thread priority (THREAD_PRIORITY_IDLE), and begins background processing mode so that it can perform background work without significantly affecting activity in the foreground. The thread priority can be changed via command line (--scan-thread-priority) or registry (ScanThreadPriority) by specifying one of the following values:

0: THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL

1: THREAD_PRIORITY_BELOW_NORMAL

2: THREAD_PRIORITY_LOWEST

3: THREAD_PRIORITY_IDLE

ScanThreadPriority is a DWORD registry value. The agent reads the setting from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Secunia\CSI Agent when running under the Local System account, and from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Secunia\CSI Agent when running under other user.
