title: Setting thread priorities from the running process
body: <p>I've just come across the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms683235%28v=vs.85%29.aspx" rel="nofollow">Get</a>/<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms686277%28v=vs.85%29.aspx" rel="nofollow">SetThreadPriority</a> methods and they got me wondering - can a thread priority <em>meaningfully</em> be set higher than the owning process priority (which I don't believe can be changed programatically in the same way) ?</p>
  
  <p>Are there any pitfalls to using these APIs?</p>
