The QuantumType property specifies either fixed or variable length quantums. Windows NT 4.0 Workstation/Windows 2000 defaults to variable length quantums where the foreground application has a longer quantum than the background applications. Windows NT Server defaults to fixed-length quantums. A quantum is a unit of execution time that the scheduler is allowed to give to an application before switching to another application. When a thread runs one quantum, the kernel preempts it and moves it to the end of a queue for applications with equal priorities. The actual length of a thread's quantum varies across different Windows platforms. For Windows NT/Windows 2000 only. The property can take the following values:  0 = Unkown - Quantum Type not known. 1 = Fixed - Quantum length is fixed. 2 = Variable - Quantum length is variable.
