Wow! In which area do you need more levels? Are you aware of
inactivity watchers?
ASYNC 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 IDLE
HIGH NORM
Hm. There is a non-zero performance cost and none of my code needs more
than 3-4 levels. I like the simplicity of the current priority range.
On the other hand, this isn't a big deal; I am happy to increase it.
But first, what perceived problem are you trying to address?
