<p><li><b>What priorities should threads/tasks executing Berkeley DB functions
be given?</b>
<p>Tasks executing Berkeley DB functions should have the same, or roughly
equivalent, system priorities.  For example, it can be dangerous to give
tasks of control performing checkpoints a lower priority than tasks of
control doing database lookups, and starvation can sometimes result.
