The difference should be for other tasks: if the one of yours has high
priority, it would compete with them; if it has a low priority, it
would yield automatically whenever another task is ready to run.

Nevertheless, in case no other task is ready to run, your task
naturally would get all CPU it can, regardless its priority.
