Re: thread priority question

It depends on how you think about priority level.

The major delineations between priority levels in Windows have sizeable gaps
between them, because Windows itself will make minute (seemingly invisible)
tweaks to the priority of a process based on whether or not one of its
windows has the focus, on the belief that the application that the user
chooses to interact with should be given a tiny priority boost vs. all other
processes at the same level, but not enough so that an explicitly higher
priority process will be starved.
