Here is a quote from the read me if it helps.  I dont see where I can change this..

This code is based on the pooler cpuminer 2.3.2 release and inherits
its command line interface and options.

Additional command line options are:

--no-autotune    disables the built-in autotuning feature for
                 maximizing CUDA kernel efficiency and uses some
                 heuristical guesswork, which might not be optimal.

--devices        [-d] gives a list of CUDA device IDs to operate on.
                 Device IDs start counting from 0!

--launch-config  [-l] specify the kernel launch configuration per device.
                 This replaces autotune or heuristic selection.

--interactive    [-i] list of flags (0 or 1) to enable interactive
                 desktop performance on individual cards. Use this
                 to remove lag at the cost of some hashing performance.
                 Do not use large launch configs for devices that shall
                 run in interactive mode - it's best to use autotune!

--texture-cache  [-C] list of flags (0 or 1 or 2) to enable use of the
                 texture cache for reading from the scrypt scratchpad.
                 1 uses a 1D cache, whereas 2 uses a 2D texture layout.
                 This is very experimental and may hurt performance
                 on some cards.

--single-memory  [-m] list of flags (0 or 1) to make the devices
                 allocate their scrypt scratchpad in a single,
                 consecutive memory block. On Windows Vista, 7/8
                 this may lead to a smaller memory size being used.


>>> Example command line options, advanced use <<<

cudaminer.exe -d 0,1,2 -i 1,0,0 -l auto,S27x3,28x4 -C 0,2,1
-o stratum+tcp://coinotron.com:3334 -O workername:password 

I tell cudaminer to use devices 0,1 and 2. Because I have the monitor
attached to device 0, I set that device to run in interactive mode so
it is fully responsive for desktop use while mining.

Device 0 performs autotune for interactive mode because I explicitly
set it to auto. Device 1 will use kernel launch configuration S27x3 and
device 2 uses 28x4.

I turn on the use of the texture cache to 2D for device 1, 1D for device
2 and off for the other devices.

The given -o/-O settings mine on the coinotrom pool using the stratum
protocol.

Greetings,
I am a new miner and I a trying to find a way to tone down my mining so that I can multitask on my PC at times.  I know this is based of poolers miner from what I have read and inherits the same modifiers, but I cant seem to change the intensity (assuming thats what its referred to).

I registered to post in this thread (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-cudaminer-ccminer-cuda-based-mining-applications-windowslinuxmacosx-167229) but it seems I have to unnoobify myself first.  So any help here would be greatly appreciated.  Here is my current command line:

C:\Users\tacos\Downloads\cudaminer\cudaminer.exe  -o stratum+tcp://coinotron.com:3334 -u xxx -p xxx

I tried to change the kernal config, as it auto tunes to 30x6 I believe (would have to double check that) and gets around 230 khash/s with a 570GTX.  I really am not sure what this changes, so my though was low #s mean less intensity, so I tried 26x4, which really just dropped my khash and not my GPU%.  I also tried a "-i 10", but that seemed to have little effect.  Does anyone know how I can accomplish this?  Thanks for the assistance!
