On windows, you can also set the priority of a process, though it's a
little different from the *nix niceness level.  See
http://code.activestate.com/recipes/496767/ for a recipe using
pywin32.  I believe the psutil module handles this too, but I don't
think it manages to abstract away the platform differences.
