performSelectorInBackground and Performance

[coulls]

Hi all,

I have a question about the performSelectorInBackground method. The question is this: Is there a way to slow down the background thread or say to the iOS that it can take extra time slices from my background thread?

The reason I ask is I've inherited an existing app with a boat load of xml files that arrive from a server that have to be dumped to db, and I'd rather not slow down the already overloaded startup routine this app has in the process.

Cheers,

Coulls

I believe there is a way to set the thread's priority.. but just being a background thread in general implies low priority
