You're sure because I tested this with a load application and running the process on normal and setting e.g. 2 worker threads (on a 2 core system) to e.g. real time shuts down most of the system  ;D as expected.

I think you're probably right, but that means the GPU may get better filled if the process priority is raised somewhat. Because it is competition with other BOINC projects running at the same priority  (idle). 

Raistmer:
scheduling performed by per thread basis, so thread priority matters. And it' already increased.
You could try to play with priority more though and report results here (better if it will be numbrs).
