Thanks for chasing that down. Probably an overzealous admin who wanted
to git 'er done and so set the priority unusually high. Hardly anyone
runs Tomcat on AS/400 so nobody noticed for 12 whole years.

Wild Googling has produced this page:
http://www.texas400.com/b400tip16.html

...which claims that priority *30* is the same as "interactive".

Something tells me that it's going to come down to a matter of opinion
what exact priority should be used. But OS processes should probably
get higher priority than daemons, Tomcat included.

Let me know if/when you get a fix on what priority is most
appropriate. It's obviously a 2-second fix.
