I am pretty sure that if a higher priority thread takes control at any 
stage, the thread that was switched out will get switched back in; 
however, it's timeslices will start again at zero. It is possible in 
that case for one thread to get starved because the thread of equal 
priority keeps getting switched back with it's timeslice count set back 
to the start
