Yes, of course. It was one of those "duh!" moments. Thanks.

Hope this answers the question of why the two threads are running at
about the same speed.

Without looking too much into this, are you trying this on a multi-core
machine (either multiple cores or one hyperthreading core)?

Subject: how to get thread priorities to work
I've been puzzling over this for way too long now. I can't seem to get
thread priorities to work. Any help will be appreciated.
For the code that follows, I would expect that only one of the threads
would run, and the counter for the lower priority thread would never
increment. But that's not the case, on both a WinXP and Win7 system
(built with MinGW 10/30/2010, gcc 4.5.2). The counter values for the
two threads are close to being the same (e.g., 94686137, 99999999).
TIA...
