prompts should run at lower priority?

[Die4Ever2005]

When running prompts, it lags the whole computer. This happens on my "Very Low" performance laptop, and even on my friend's RTX 5090 with 9950X3D. Even as a dev this can be annoying, I think for consumer use it's a bit too intrusive. Not sure if lower CPU priority is enough, if it also needs throttling on GPU usage then maybe just some sleeps would fix it without losing a noticeable amount of throughput.

On a "Very Low" performance laptop, this is somewhat expected, but if it feels completely excessive, please file a new bug and include a screencast taken with another device (so the screencasting doesn't cause load on the observed system) showing the reactiveness of the slow device before, during, and after a long prompt ("write me a long poem about love" or something), and ideally make sure the Windows Task Manager is visible, too. Thank you!
