Line 13:
These levels have associated numbers with them. Applications start at a base priority level of eight. The system dynamically adjusts the priority level to give all applications access to processor.
Priority levels 0 - 15 are used by dynamic applications. Anything running at a dynamic level can be written to the Windows NT Pagefile. This includes user application by default and operating system functions that are not imperative to the performance of the operating system. Priority levels 16- 31 are reserved for real-time applications that cannot be written to the Windows NT Pagefile. Because of this, they will not be paged to disk and will reside in main memory.
