vba running slower if i'm not looking at it?
 

I have two computers on my desk. I keep the second one for running
macros that take awhile.

I have a process that is running on the second machine, and if I
remote to it from my main machine, and sit and watch it run, it does
what it does about 1000 times per minute. If I shrink my remote
connection window and don't look at it for awhile, it runs about 100
times slower. What is going on here? I've also tried logging out and
leaving it running, with the same effect. Any help would be
appreciated. Thanks.

I believe when you reduce it, it becomes a background task, which has less
resource allocated.

I thought that it might be something like that, but its a separate
machine. Does a remote machine "know" if you are looking at it or not?
Can changing the priority of the process help?
