I think anything containing "priority" will create confusion
with OS priority.
The other problem with showing this info is that it creates the
erroneous impression that the job's project will get more than
its fair share of computing.
Several projects report that when they use short job deadlines
(which create "high priority" jobs) they get lots of user complaints.
So I'm in favor of not showing this in the GUI;
maybe we can show it in the event log in some better way.

Subject: Re: [boinc_dev] High priority status message removed.
The removal followed a question and answer session at the BOINC workshop in
Budapest earlier this week. The OS scheduler mis-interpretation was one that I
highlighted, but there was also a problem with users thinking that High
Priority was a project-chosen queue-jumping facility. I think we're much better
off without those confusions over terminology, but I agree with John that it
would be good if the reason for non-FIFO running could be marked in some way -
if we can find a less-frightening word.

OK, High Priority made it sound like it was running at High OS Scheduler
Priority, but some tag that it is not in the normal RR schedule might be good
for helping diagnose problems.
