At least it's something, especially for us NON-dual core processor owners, so I accept this thread completely as actual help.

TASKKILL /IM EXPLORER.EXE /F

TASKKILL /IM sIDEBAR.EXE /F

TASKKILL /IM GROOVEMONITOR.EXE /F

TASKKILL /IM RTHDVCPL.EXE /F

TASKKILL /IM CONIME.EXE /F

TASKKILL /IM DWW.EXE /F

TASKKILL /IM EHTRAY.EXE /F

TASKKILL /IM IEUSER.EXE /F

TASKKILL /IM WUAUCLT.EXE /F

TASKKILL /IM UNSECAPP.EXE /F

TASKKILL /IM TASKENG.EXE /F

TASKKILL /IM EHMSAS.EXE /F

TASKKILL /IM MSASCUI.EXE /F

TASKKILL /IM WMPNSCFG.EXE /F

start /high /wait DolphinWX.exe

start explorer.exe

start sidebar.exe

Hmm... I think that trick did boost up a frame or two but of course, no noticable change so I'll go without it. Still, nice idea!

Its nice to see that everyone likes the idea.

isn't it better just to run dolphin and then give it high priority using task manager...?

EDIT: yes i know start waits for the process to end but you know windows and start never worked all so great here...

Well the Explorer.exe eats a lot Power with some PCs so thats why i but there to shutdown the Explorer.exe.

Here is my list when im using XP:

TASKKILL /IM EXPLORER.EXE /F
TASKKILL /IM LManager.EXE /F
TASKKILL /IM MOM.EXE /F
TASKKILL /IM PWRISOVM.EXE /F
TASKKILL /IM jusched.EXE /F
TASKKILL /IM LManager.EXE /F
TASKKILL /IM msmsgs.EXE /F
TASKKILL /IM ObjextDock.EXE /F
TASKKILL /IM RtkBtMnt.EXE /F
start /high /wait DolphinWX.exe
start explorer.exe
start LManager.EXE
start MOM.EXE
start PWRISOVM.EXE
start jusched.EXE
start LManager.EXE
start msmsgs.EXE
start ObjextDock.EXE
start RtkBtMnt.EXE

Also set the process on high priority? Might help.

The emulator is already using 100% of your processor, telling it to use 100% of your processor again is not going to do anything.

but the CPU can be interrupted by other processes.
