AFAIK , process priority="nice" value under HP-UX (as shown by ps -l) and processing time is equally distributed among processes with the same nice value (by default, every process gets the same priority)

Solaris is more sophisticated, splitting processes into 4 classes: system, real-time, time-sharing & interactive, each with its own scheduling policy. man priocntl explains this in detail!
