Not to worry about system processes.  They run in a much better queue,
from 1 to 100.

The other batch jobs will fight over the same queue number.  Any process
with a queue greater than 150 will be starved.

UNLESS 150 falls in the same range as your 'C' queue.  Then it should
drop to 'about' 200. presuming your 'C' queue is set to decay by
default.

THEN the batch jobs will fight over the bottom of the 'C' queue instead
of the top.

D and E queues will be starved.
