I've been submitting CPU intensive batch jobs on our VAX 8650 with the
priority set at 1.  It uses some pretty big arrays so it tends to page
ALOT.  When I run my job people say that they notice a degredation to
the system.  I say that my job shouldn't pose a problem because it's
priority is lower than theirs.

Am I wrong in assumming that since my job's priority is set at 1, it
shouldn't interfere with anybody with a higher priority?
