Speed up application?

Hi,

is it possible to speed up/slow down the speed your application runs at, For example changing the speed of webpages/shockwaveflash and other controls on the form.

I found this website which has a program that changes the speed windows performs tasks at:

how could i implement such a code into a vb app?

Thanks

Isn't just a case of setting processor priority?

To me, messing with PC settings is more of a "hack" to avoid optimizing your code.

Naah, this isnt what i mean,

Im making a program which has a fast forward function allowing the user to fast foward the play of a shockwaveflash control

I don't think you can do that without altering the code of the flash component or changing the hardware timer interval. As far as the program you linked goes, it may be playing with FrontSideBus speed, hardware timer interval, hooking DirectX, etc. One of the reviews on the webpage at the bottom suggests the users machine crashes more often, but the software is worth it! I guess you can tolerate anything if you need this kind of control.
