Can I trash a task?

Oh Great Wise Ones

Is it possible to pause/suspend/crash so many times during the running of a task, that it gets garbaged?

I'd be trying to avoid it, not achieve it.

I'd like to see if I can get the one I have at the moment to run a little faster than the 4 days 8 hours 32 min and 34 sec's one of my wingpeople managed, but can't promise. I am having some heating issues you see, followed by some super efficient downclocking events.

My set up is as follows:

I have a tablefan. That is aimed at one of those icepack things. The air that results from that combination, swirls around above, and beneath the laptop and works quite well at stopping it from slowing itself down to pet rock speed... except when I forget to change the icepack.

I have now also set my "use at most blah percentage of cpu time" to 50, and so far, everything seems stable *lose hairnet in gale* but I am wary of getting too confident of it lasting.

I'm hoping I won't need to concern myself with what the answer is to my question, but in case I do, and you know, I'd be grateful if someone could tell me.

Thank you! :)
