Seems like a leftover (not a single SetPriority call is guarded) and I'm wondering if there could be any benefit on a Pi 1 (can't see anything different on a Pi 2) or not.
GUI navigation while stream details and/or thumbnails are being extracted might be (slightly) faster. Extracting stream details and/or thumbnails might be (slightly) slower. To be honest, I don't expect any measurable difference, but you never know...
Interesting. I've added to newclock4.
I agree, it looks like the #ifdef is a leftover. Can't see a reason why posix should behave differently.
I agree it could make UI or playback starting more responsive, at the expense of artwork showing up later.
Have a look at this and this which were other experiments in thread priorities. I've not had a lot of evidence as to whether they are beneficial.
