Comments

Under normal circumstances, the Dexterity runtime engine counts the number of idle event messages sent to (or looped to) the background by the foreground processor. As the number of these idle event messages increases, the percentage of computer's processing power allocated to the background processing is increased.

As a result, Dexterity is able to automatically scale the background processing based upon the user's foreground activity. While there is little or no foreground activity, more processing power is allocated to the background processing. Once foreground activity returns, processing power is immediately reallocated to handle the foreground activity.

Dexterity's default functionality is for background processing optimization to be active. You need to include this setting in your defaults file only if you wish to deactivate this feature.
