It’s a hint for the OS, so results can vary by platform. Not the end of the
world but not ideal.
A scarier fact is that Brian Goetz, pretty big name in Java concurrency,
recommends against in general, noting that it can lead to liveness /
starvation issues.
I pushed up a fix for cloud.sh and tagged you (Gus) on it if you can double

Thanks for the feedback folks...

Thanks. I could see thread priority customization being used well in
combination with rate limiting so as to mitigate a starvation risk.
Yeah, I met Brian Goetz and have his excellent book.

I think that’s really the root of the concern, and he’s generally working
with code that’s likely close to hardware ideal - a thread count not much
more than the number of cores at the high end. Here you have to reason
about
