{- Runs an operation, at batch priority.

- This is done by running it in a bound thread, which on Linux can be set
|
|
- to have a different nice level than the rest of the program. Note that
|
|
- due to running in a bound thread, some operations may be more expensive
|
|
- to perform. Also note that if the action calls forkIO or forkOS itself,
|
|
- that will make a new thread that does not have the batch priority.
|
|
-
|
|
- POSIX threads do not support separate nice levels, so on other operating
|
|
- systems, the action is simply ran.
