If you boost all threads, they'll fight among themselves, although they 
should have more than normal Linux processes.

The scheduler seems to be in wine/scheduler. Specific files include 
scheduler/process.c and thread.c. thread.c mostly calls the wineserver 
for priorities, so you could also check in the server what it does with 
that.

Most probably nothing is ever done with the Win32 priorities.
