I think Lemmink is right. It must set the priority of the frontmost task to High. Obviously multitasking goes out the window as everything else loses out CPU cycles to the high priority application.

I wonder if there is anything like this for AmigaOS?

Setting priority to high will not make a game that is written by a halfway competent developer, speed up...

It will if setting it to High allows it more CPU cycles than it has when set to normal priority.
