Description

Priority determines the priority at which the process is running.

Priority	Meaning

`ppIdle`	The process only runs when the system is idle (i.e. has nothing else to do)
`ppNormal`	The process runs at normal priority.
`ppRealTime`	The process runs at real-time priority.

Note that not all priorities can be set by any user. Usually, only users with administrative rights (the root user on Unix) can set a higher process priority.

On UNIX, the process priority is mapped on Nice values as follows:

`ppHigh`	20
`ppIdle`	20
`ppNormal`	0
`ppRealTime`	-20
