Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't most OS's have a minimum priority for threads, based on the processed priotity. So if you have a high priority process with a bunch of minimum priority threads the threads will sitll have priority over other processes's threads. This is mind its pretty pointless to lower thread priotity except if it is needed internally. --typo _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
