I think these values we determined from experiments. Having the fast
net thread higher than the background thread resulted in higher
network throughput. I believe it still works with them being the same,
but i think the performance drops. The actual values, 6 and 7, doesn't
matter. You could quite easily use 20 and 21, or 10 and 13 etc. Just
use what ever fits best with your other threads in the system.
