| UIThreadBackgroundPriority | 2 | Runs the task on UI thread using background priority (i.e. below user input). Tasks are scheduled even while modal dialogs are open. Tasks are scheduled to occur when no user input is pending, plus a short delay. Appropriate for short tasks or slightly longer tasks. |

| BackgroundThreadLowIOPriority | 5 | Runs the task on background thread pool and sets the background mode on the thread while the task is running. This is useful for IO heavy background tasks that are not time critical. |
