That's a good idea, but:

- I have only 1 CPU.
- I cannot add more because some hardware drivers do not supoort it...

My approach has been to lower the FB server priority. Cannot be done from
the Task Manager, but in www.beyondlogic.com there's an small command line
utility that can do it.

So, by now I've been able to lower the FB server priority. Let's see if this
solves my problem...
