Process & thread priorities

Hi,
I have a difficulty understanding the thread priority between processes.
Here's the scenario:

ProgA.exe:
Process priority= Normal
Thread priority= Normal

ProgB.exe:
Process priority= Normal
Thread priority= Low

Both programs are identical that do a do-nothing loop for a million times
(single threaded; same source code and compilation).
If the loop starts at the same time, which one finishes the loop first?
Thanks in advance.
