Right, so I committed this, but we want to know what is going on in the
threadpool.c diff.

Where did the magical numbers 0 and 31 come from?:
+    minPriority = 0;
+    maxPriority = 31;

In the manual for pthread_setschedparam(3) it suggests we should use
PTHREAD_MIN_PRIORITY/PTHREAD_MAX_PRIORITY, but these are not defined in
/usr/include (only privately in the pthread sources apparently).

In some private emails we have been questioning the extent to which OpenBSD does
not support thread priorities. What I can tell you is that if you pass in 0/0
instead of 0/31, the web interface no longer works.

I'm guessing someone knows why, hence the patch ;)
