I finally figured out how to use this........yes I'm a bit slow and new to using github stuff.... and it's doubled my hashing rate. I tried putting it on my btc mining rig but it makes my gpu's drop DRASTICALLY, any way to fix that?

Set low priority. In linux start the litecoin miner with "nice":

Code:
screen nice ./your_lite_coin_script

(Screen is optional; it lets you attach and detach console sessions)

IN windows open task manager and set process priority to lowest.

Yes, I have considered this, but haven't messed with it just yet.  I drop the priority for the dedicated cores I put to it, but haven't messed with running both a GPU and a CPU associated with the same core with the minerd at lower priority.

I may fiddle with it eventually, but it's only 6 cores that I have right now.  Not too much I'm leaving on the table given CPU chain value ATM.
