Set Process Priority

I think it would be beneficial to add a "Set Process Priority" option to the "Machine" menu. It is often useful when running multiple machines, or even a CPU intensive process on a virtual machine while still using the host system for other taks. The exact method used to implement the feature would vary a little between hosts, but is simple on most OSes. Currently, it is not easy to tell which ProcessID belongs to which Machine in the host OS, which makes it difficult to manually set the priority. Since the VirtualBox hypervisor knows the ProcessID for each machine, it should be pretty simple to implement, and having a GUI option to perform the function would make it a lot easier to do.
