Setting thread priority

2011-02-05 Thread Peter Alexander 
How do you set the priority of a thread, or otherwise control how much 
CPU time it gets?


It appears that std.thread had an answer for this, but it has been 
removed from Phobos by the looks of things.


On a side note, why is std.thread still in the online documentation if 
it was removed long ago? What's the point of having a tool to 
automatically generate documentation if we're going to have out of date 
docs anyway?

Use core.thread.  And I believe the method name is setPriority.

depends on operating system - on windows: set the priority to high does 
not help if your system isn't under pressure ...
