Now it probably running as 'below normal' like engines but because it is in a foreground process it gets higher priority than an external engine. Without studying this I would think that it is better to keep the priority like it is to not get unpredictable reading, could be too slow when running with a lower priority than an engine. Instead the reading could be idle sometimes, ex. if it use ReadFile for the com-port you can higher the inputtimeout so it hang there some milliseconds. But someone mention last time that it didn't take up resources when the dgt-board was connected via an usb-adapter (usb-rs232) so maybe it is something else, or the default timeout is higher on these devices.
