A problem with relative priority of threads (newbie)

[dingo]

Hi All,

I am newbie to Ruby Created some tests and browsed the group to find
some answers on the subject. What I would like to do is to have two
threads where one runs more often than another. It seems the way to do
anything like this is by using Thread#priority. What I have been able
to do so far is making one thread to run exclusively (higher priority),
while thread #2 (with lower priority) doesn't get any run-time at all!
This doesn't seem right, but maybe I am missing something here.

Any ideas how to accomplish what I want?
Thanks

OK, I think sleep with small value as a parameter lets me do what I
want
