Hi,
I have 9 threads in my application. All the threads are started at the start of the application and continues to run till the termination of the program.

When the application is started the cpu utilization shows 99%. If i close the application the cpu utiliztion is only 3%.This causes other application to respond slowly. I am using ubuntu-8.10.

Whatever the cpu-time that is allocated for the application by the operating system, only that time is split b/w threads. How does one application affect another applications response time.

How to control the cpu utilizition of the threading programs.
