Process Priority utility
As discussed on StackOverflow and ServerFault, here is a utility that can query and set the CPU, memory, and IO priority of a Win32 process (runs on XP and higher).
To see the command line usage information, run the program without any arguments.
Enjoy!

Note that for Windows 8 they have added SetProcessInformation() to allow setting these priorities in a more official manner. See MSDN for details.

If you run the process with no arguments you'll get a help screen. There are two usage modes: query and set. It operates on PIDs, so you'll need to figure that out via Task Manager or some other tool.
Examples (123 is the PID of the process of interest):
processPriority query 123
processPriority set 123 normal

Hi,
Thanks for providing this, this is great. I have tried it and it says that it has changed the memory and cpu priorities of my process.
However, my process is still unable to utilize all the memory available to it.
Anybody else have this issue?
