ChangeTaskPri also changes the priority of all new processes run from
that CLI.  So if you want to run your compiler at lower priority than
your terminal program, you issue a ChangeTaskPri command right before
running the compiler.

If anybody has a program that will allow changing the priority of
processes on the fly, could they do us all a favor and post it to the
sources and binaries groups?
