I don't think so. As a rule the opposite is true: a process that
spends a lot of time using the CPU tends to get its priority lowered.
OTOH, if you stay blocked waiting for a network connection for a long
time, it's likely that all your code and data will eventually be
paged out. But you should recover from that situation very quickly.
Overall I think you'll have to look elsewhere for an explanation of
this problem. I don't have any other good suggestions.
