I think it makes sense: if D-Bus is used as a communication mechanism between 
two apps, it should get as much opportunity to handle its input as those two 
are generating data for the daemon.

I'm not sure we need to do an equal division of CPU time, though. In fact, 
wouldn't it suffice to ensure that the daemon has a higher priority?

Also, I imagine that the applications need more CPU time between messages than 
the daemon, so even if it had an less than equal share compared to the 
senders, it should still suffice.

I still need to RTFP though....
