Realtime priority class processes are not immune from paging
Line 12:
 
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.
