The "View thread priority" allows you to specify the priority delta of the thread that is started when the &xcenter; is opened. See "Processes and threads" for more information about thread priorities.

The &xcenter; does not run on the same thread as most other WPS windows -- which is normally thread 1 in the WPS process. Instead, when an &xcenter; is opened, a new thread is created. This allows you to set the priority of the &xcenter; independently from the rest of the WPS.

By default, the &xcenter; runs with a priority delta of zero, which is the standard priority delta (and the same as all other WPS windows). However, you can raise that delta up to 31 (which is the maximum priority delta in &os2;) to give the &xcenter; precendence over other tasks in the system. Among other things, this might make animations run more smoothly.
