NSThread and priority

	hi ! in cocoa documentation, NSThread class contains 2 class methods to set/get priority for your threads. but the documentation is really poor (but simple ;-) ) on this subject. what is this priority exactly, how is it working ? is is an internal Mach parameter (obscure to me...) ? or a pthread attribute (IIRC pthread allow pseudo Real-Time etc...) ? how does a high priority thread behave with other task, with the OS etc ? does this priority is only an internal parameter to your app ? thanks for answer or pointer to documentation
