Java priorities are in the range Thread.MIN_PRIORITY ( 1 ) to Thread.MAX_PRIORITY ( 10 ). The bigger the number, the better the access to the CPU a thread has. Thread.NORM_PRIORITY ( 5 ) is the default. // Bump up a thread's priority to the cpu one notch above the usual.thread.setPriority( Thread.NORM_PRIORITY + 1 );// Drop up the thread's priority two notches below where it is now.thread.setPriority( thread.getPriority() - 2 );
