I don't now if this exists in Windows.  In Linux (and I guess also on
the Mac), I can start a command with `nice -n X COMMAND ARGS` and it has
higher or lower scheduling priority depending if X is negative or
positive.  Details in `man nice`.

I guess I could pre-pend the nice command in the call from PanoPanel.cpp
but I am not sure how this would (or would not) affect the whole thing.
