As long as the thread is mostly sleeping (i.e. waiting for I/O) and
will not consume idle CPU, there is no issue in giving it a higher
priority.  However, any thread that consumes idle CPU is going to
starve out any threads at lower priority.  I don't think that's really
an issue with the monitoring thread, as it only does that one thing
and should yield the CPU when there is no network I/O to process.
