Does anyone know how to allocate more CPU to Scratch?
I have a Mac 10.7 (aka Lion)
But anything that works for Snow Leopard will probably work for me too
Thanks in advance!

So what do you want basically? Like a better Scratch?

No to give CPU to priority to Scratch. I did it on Vista and I want to do it on my Mac

Give CPU to priority to Scratch? What does that mean?

I found this on the Macrumors forums:

Basically, you find the process ID you're interested in via Activity Monitor or by running "ps Ac" in Terminal. I'm assuming that you want to change the priority of a process that's already running. Once you have the PID, then run "sudo renice -20 PID" from the Terminal. You have to have admin privileges to run this command, and you will have to enter your password. The "-20" sets the process priority to its highest value; you would use a priority of "20" to set it to its lowest value. I know this sounds backwards, but it's not.
If you are starting a process from Terminal, use the "nice" command.
You might want to look at "man setpriority" for additional information, although this is *not* a command, it's a system call, i.e. you would use it from within a program you are coding.
Does that help?

No sorry, it is okay.

That's why I like Windows, it's more customizable
The best guess I can guess is use the terminal. There's a lot of hidden stuff there And otherwise, do the VM preferences work on Macs? Press F2 while on Scratch and navigate to System Configuration.
