[PD] audio gets "scratchy" -- setting process priority on windows XP

[Josh Steiner]

interesting, i've occastionally set the priority higher in the 
taskmanager which seems to help avoiding stutters when moving objects 
around and such, but when i try your command like alone, it works: pd is 
running at high priority, but if i stick "cmd /c start /High " in front 
of my big line in the .bat with all the -lib's and -path's and 
-audiodev's and such, it starts as normal priority... any ideas?
