PRIORITY_OFFSET specifies the difference in priority required
    by the scheduler for one process to preempt the current process.
    A value of 2, for example, means that if the current process
    is executing at priority 1, a computable process at priority 2
    or 3 is not allowed to preempt the current process. However, a
    priority 4 or higher process can preempt the current process.
    This mechanism affects only normal priority (0-15) processes. The
    default value is 0.

    This special parameter is used by HP and is subject to change. Do
    not change this parameter unless HP recommends that you do so.
