Short Query Bias (SQB) function at Netezza/PureData

Each Vertica resource pool has a setting 'RUNTIMEPRIORITYTHRESHOLD' which indicates how long to run each with HIGH priority before reverting to the runtime priority specified by the pool. The threshold defaults to 2 seconds. This accomplishes SQB - queries when they start get more CPU to see if they can be completed quickly, if not, they behave as normal.

Thanks, Ben!
