Java makes no guarantees on how multiple threads of the same priority 
will be scheduled.  Different operating systems may implement threading 
differently, and many things such as I/O buffer sizes can affect the 
way that the threads are scheduled.

If you want to guarantee some specific scheduling behavior, you have to 
write the code to enforce that behavior.
