Prioritizer... A simple compiled applescript script to redistribute priority CPU.
As this is a simple script, you will have to edit it with Applescript Editor in order to enter your own password and then recompile it back.
To enter your own password (needed to renice a process), edit the line containing "your password" and type your actual password (this may be a security issue: if you want to make the program safe, save it as an encrypted application).
To use it, save it as an Application bundle with the 'Stay Open' option on. Add it to your login items and forget

This program has no Dock icon and no menus, which means that if you want to quit it, you must select its process with Activity Monitor and terminate it.

A menu enabling to fine tune the CPU share precisely and differently accross several applications would be most welcome.
This app only uses 0.5% of the CPU's time.

Here's how to use it:
Right-click on the application (Prioritizer) and select "Show Package Contents" from the pop-up menu.
Navigate to Contents/Resources/Scripts/
Double-click the main.scpt file (or open it in your favorite AppleScript editor).
Change the "your paswword"[sic] in the 15th line to your login/admin password. WARNING: this is a security workaround, and while it won't leave your machine vulnerable, if someone has access to your machine and finds this file, they can see your password. YMMV.
Save and close the AppleScript file.
Launch the application.
If you've entered your password correctly, it should stay running in the background, checking every 10 seconds for a different application coming to the foreground, and adjusting the priorities. It should no longer be asking for your password "every 10 minutes."
Have fun!
