Hi,

Ok, that's what I thought.

Ok, then that explains the behavior.

>Can i use thread priority on my machine?

Sure - but keep in mind that thread priorities only apply if there is
contention for the CPU, in which case the high priority thread runs
whereas the lower priority thread doesn't.  Since your machine is a
dual core there's no contention since both threads can run.

Take care,
