I can't give you a reference, but the logic is that raising the level of a
client will cause it to block other clients (and possibly the server). If a
high-priority client needs a lock that's held by a low-priority client,
everything slows down. Similarly, raising the priority of the server makes
it harder for clients to get their work done and release their locks.

Good luck,
