How do I give a program high priority for memory and processor speed?

I use NaturallySpeaking a lot, and it's a great program, but it's very processor and memory intensive. As long as it's being used, it works fine, but if I tab away to another program for five minutes and then try to come back to NaturallySpeaking the computer churns away for about 30 seconds or a minute before it starts working again. It's really annoying. It makes NaturallySpeaking virtually unusable for intermittent use.

"It doesn't sound like a CPU problem, but rather a memory problem : NaturallySpeaking being swapped out of memory and taking time to swap in again. You can test this hypothesis using Task Manager:

Open Task Manager at a time that you're experiencing this problem
First click on the Performance tab and look for anomalies. You might even take a screenshot of it and edit the image into your post.
Click on the Processes tab
Select menu View / Select Columns...
Place a check-mark next to ""Memory - Working Set"" and click OK
In Processes view you will now have a column by that name. Click on it twice, to sort by descending order, and report to us which processes (if any) are using an excessive amount.

Although with 4GB of memory you shouldn't be experiencing such problems, it might be that NaturallySpeaking is somehow parametered to using more memory than you have (the maximal amount that can use all the applications in the computer together is 2GB, the rest being used by Windows)."
