The key to remember is that priority only affects cpu utilization.  If,
in the fractional second you pause for thought, your entire memory is
swapped out for some other task (tape, background process, whatever)
then even processing a keystroke may well take a couple of disk reads
causing extremely 'jerky' behaviour.
