Re: How to run tasks with priority?

It is a very good idea! I am not quite familar with the technology you
mentioned. Could you please provide me a simple sample?

I am wondering why should I use yield to make one thread run slower than
another one. I think thread with equal priority should have the same chance
to run. What is your purpose of using yield?
