Having a render priority being set low while still using all the cores in 
the event that nothing else is running is a useful combination. Reducing the 
number of cores is really only equivalent if you can do this in the middle 
of a trace, which I don't think is currently possible. Having the render 
automatically drop into the background when more urgent work(*) starts 
running is a useful setting.


(*) What, more urgent than a POV-Ray render? I know, I know, but it 
occasionally happens.
