I run Bitcoin Core version v22.0.0 on Windows 7 automatically on startup with the commands "C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe" -min -chain=main
But it takes quite a while before the PC responds because Bitcoin core is using all the CPU resources.
Are there any arguments I can use to start at a lower priority?
If your system is already equipped with powerful hardware, instead of limiting CPU usage with -par, optimizing disk I/O performance might yield better results. For instance, ensuring the blockchain is stored on a high-speed SSD or using disk prioritization tools can significantly improve responsiveness
