It is possible to boost overall system performance by increasing the IRQ priority of the CMOS real-time clock with the following Registry change.
copy this:
REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetControlPriorityControl] ''IRQ8Priority''=dword:00000001
Paste it into a text editor such as Notepad or Wordpad. Save the file as whatever name you want, perhaps boost_irq_priority with a .reg file extension e.g. boost_irq_priority.reg - you can now close the text-editor and simply double-click on the file you just created to enter the information into the registry. To undo this tweak, repeat the procedure but copy this instead into the text file: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetControlPriorityControl] ''IRQ8Priority''=dword:00000000
You should find that your overall system performance increases from this tweak.
Is this a joke? It seems like it. I have no idea how increasing the priority of the CMOS clock could increase system performance.
