Detailed Description

Utilities for getting and setting thread priority. This is an attempt to unify concepts for thread priority usefully across multiple platforms. For finer control, use platform specific functionality.

Note

When using higher-than-normal priority, use caution! Too many threads running at too high priority can have a strong negative impact on the responsivity of the machine. Prefer to use realtime priority only for short running tasks that need to be very responsively run.
