This is related to Windows. If the computer is configured that the
foreground tasks(i.e.: applications) have priority, then this could be
the effect. Services are background tasks and you should be able to
set their priorities in design-time, by manipulating the
ThreadPriority property of the ServiceThread
(TService.ServiceThread.ThreadPriority).
