Hello,


I've just recently started to use FreeBSD and I'm having problems with a 
piece of software that I'm running.
That software causes quite a high load on my machine and gets 
automatically killed after some time.

How can I configure FreeBSD not to kill the high cpu consuming tasks 
taking into account the risk of my machine getting to be unavailable.
