In my experience, the behavior of threads with different priorities id fully
predictable. One of my apps had a thread that updated a GUI. The update
worked, but was quite jerky, with a number of updates buffered up before
showing them. Lowering priority of the updating thread fixed the problem.
This effect was observed on Windows (98, NT, 2K and XP).
