Assuming we have read the following question: Change niceness (priority) of a running process and we know about root, non-root permissions:

What actually happens when a running process (Through renice) or a new process (Through nice) gets its priority changed to a positive/negative value it previously had.

Does it mean more memory is assign to it?
Does more CPU power go to that particular process?
Does it reduce any timing for resources for that process?

What happens when the process priority change?

But I do have an application that I need to make sure always has the highest priority on my system as it is critical for the rest of the applications I am running. Is there any danger in setting the priority… >>> More

I need to invoke .jar file in separate JVM from another java application, and it very CPU-consuming, so it should run with background priority in order not to affect the rest of the system. Is there any cross-platform method to do this? >>> More
