Suggested code from Paul Walker:

 eval{ require Win32::Process };
 if( $@ )
   {
     print OUT $@;
   }
 print OUT "Got WIN32 in $$\n";
 if( ! Win32::Process::Open( $procobj, $$, 0 ) )
   {
     print OUT "OPEN " . $! . "\n";
   }
 
 $procobj->GetPriorityClass( $priclass );
 print OUT  $priclass . "\n";
 
 if( ! $procobj->SetPriorityClass( 128 ) )
   {
     print OUT $! . "\n";
   }
 $procobj->GetPriorityClass( $priclass );
 print OUT  $priclass .  "\n";    

Do we want to add this for 6.0?

Will look at this again after 6.0

Chris Key checked in code to set the priority of both the server and scanner via Settings.

Does this patch change the default priority on windows?

No. Only the option to.

At one point I changed the priority of the scanner, and people complained. Chris' patch let's the choose.

Ok.  I was more thinking of having the main process bumped up, not  
the scanner.  Bumping up the scanner will make a lot of people sad.
