Ordinarily, I would disagree with this. It's typically the programmer's
responsibility to ensure that blocking activities occur with regularity in
his program if he intends to run it at an elevated priority. However, with
the normal boost of the foreground process to priority 4, it requires OS/2
(but not DOS) programmers who expect their program to run at normal
priority to resort to Windows tricks to release the processor more
frequently than once every second or longer.

I agree with this, and would prefer it to 1.

I think this may skewed by a quirk with software on your system.

Ditto my comment on 3).
