Apparently I am now on the pthreads mailing list, so here is my first
question, plus a little background:

I am experienced with real-time embedded systems, and for the current
task I am working on Linux is the most suitable OS to meet our needs.
All my previous projects ran stand-alone with no need for a full OS.

Question:
   What difference does it make between having say 3 threads to do
my work instead 3 processes?   I would want the three to run at different
priority levels.
   Also,  what function do I call to change the priority of a thread
or process?
