Set the time critical priority up to a VI running in Windows

[elephant46]

How much can be useful to set the "time critical priority" to a VI that runs in a Windows OS? In other words, setting the "time critical priority" up to a VI can yield to a performance improvement if this VI runs in a Windows OS instead of a Real Time target?

Thank you all in advance

more often than not setting a VI to Time Critical and running it on a WIndows machine will result in it robbing CPU cycles from everything else including the mouse driver which will lead the user to decide the machine is hung and reboot it.

So setting a VI to TC will result in the the machine rebooting.

I can't get into the details at the moment but this tag cloud has links related to perfromance.
