  Usually it's the responsibility of the operating system to offer the user
the means to set process priorities. It doesn't make much sense for each
individual program to have to do that.

  Now, I don't know if Windows offers the means for a user to raise or lower
process priorities, but I would be quite surprised if it didn't. (I have only
used XP and not the newer ones, but I must admit I don't remember now if there
was a way to do this in XP. I would guess there is a way to do this in Vista
and Windows7.)
