I've been experimenting with the new native threading code, beating on it
to see how it holds up, doing that sort of beta test that people dream of.
(I've found a memory bug, but that's for a different piece of mail...)
Anyway, while watching the process table, I noticed that most of the
threads that are created are niced to at least 5, with one or two being at
10, and another one or two (my threads?) are at 0. I figured the thread
that was niced at 10 is the garbage collectiong thread, and a few of the
other threads at 5 are created by the VM at start-up for various VM tasks.
This got me curios as to what determines the niceness. By the java spec,
thread priorities can be ignored, but I'm wondering that if in this case,
are thread priorities being mapped to a niceness level?
Any comments?
