Hi, you can lower the priority of the MathKernel.exe process just replace the the kernel command used to connect to the Mathematica kernel with start /LOW MathKernel.exe yourMathLinkArguments but that is probably not usefull because you usual wish to see the kernel result as fast as possible and a lower priority will slow down your computing engine.
