Well, Windows uses a nifty trick that we can't easily do due to the Unix 
security model. When launching the task manager through the key binding or 
the panel's context menu the spawned process gets a high priority, so even 
under high load the task manager can start up relatively easy.

Under unix it's rather hard to run non-root processes with a negative (high 
priority) nice level though.
