Change user-interface priority

Question

Hello LabVIEWERS ,
Does anyone of you know how to set/adjust the user-interface priority of a
LabVIEW program.
In an certain application I noticed a bad respons from LabVIEW towards the
user-interface
(it reacts only very slowly towards pushing a button or for instance
dragging the LabVIEW frontpanel)
although the processor utilisation is only a few percent. I don't want to
put delays in the code unneccesary.
I tried to lower the execution priority of LabVIEW but I don't see any
difference.
I use windows2000 as platform and LabVIEW 7.1 if that matters.

Thanks for you suggestions, but I already found it myself:
it appeared to be a DLL which was called very often ,
and this DLL was running in UI - thread. Changing it to "reentrant" did the
trick .

like i said, there are a lot of possible reasons...
