Even so, the shared data should be protected from multi-thread accesses.  In
which case, thread task-switching timing are still not an issue.

Sure you can.  All thread priorities can be adjusted, even the main thread.
The main thread just does not use a TThread, but it is still a thread
nontheless.  It just means you have to use the Win32 API directly in order
to adjust the main thread's priorities.

They come with Builder.  If you did not choose to install them when you
installed Builder (there was an option for it), you can pull the help files
from the installation CD directly.  Or just use MSDN online
(http://msdn.microsoft.com), it always has latest up-to-date information
anyway.

It is the minimum number of milliseconds to sleep.

Then make a new project from scratch with mimimal code that reproduces the
same issue.
