Which is why I suggested, if this silly practice were to continue, to use a
special image for adjustment of the process priority.  This could limit the
users ability to increase priority outside of the established period.

I still do not see how report generation is all that CPU intensive that an
increase in a user's base priority would aid its completion time.
