The information at http://xona.com/2004/07/22.html (which another user 
posted elsewhere in this thread) suggests how to start a process (such 
as a JVM) with priority reduced from the outset. I'd guess that 
/abovenormal, /high, and /realtime could also be used to start a process 
with elevated priority (say, an I/O bound task you want to remain very 
responsive).
