Since the cache does access the disk intensively, it is set to a
background priority.
See the docs for SetThreadPriority here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms686277%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

The priority we use in the cache is the MODE_BACKGROUND_BEGIN and
MODE_BACKGROUND_END while accessing the disk.

So it has nothing to do with CPU but with disk/resource access. If your
harddrive is already used intensively (e.g., if you compile a big
project), then the status cache is of course forced to wait. But you
wouldn't want the cache to interfere with your build and slow that down,
do you?
