ThreadPriorityPolicyintxruntime0

0 : Normal. 
 VM chooses priorities that are appropriate for normal 
 applications. On Solaris NORM_PRIORITY and above are mapped 
 to normal native priority. Java priorities below 
 NORM_PRIORITY map to lower native priority values. On 
 Windows applications are allowed to use higher native 
 priorities. However, with ThreadPriorityPolicy=0, VM will 
 not use the highest possible native priority, 
 THREAD_PRIORITY_TIME_CRITICAL, as it may interfere with 
 system threads. On Linux thread priorities are ignored 
 because the OS does not support static priority in 
 SCHED_OTHER scheduling class which is the only choice for 
 non-root, non-realtime applications. 

1 : Aggressive. 
 Java thread priorities map over to the entire range of 
 native thread priorities. Higher Java thread priorities map 
 to higher native thread priorities. This policy should be 
 used with care, as sometimes it can cause performance 
 degradation in the application and/or the entire system. On 
 Linux/BSD/macOS this policy requires root privilege or an 
 extended capability.
