Which OS version it is? This is a bug, both should have priority 0. Can 
you reopen that bug Faheem linked with details about your OS version if 
you see it on current OS version? Oh wait, maybe just forget it, it'll 
be WONTFIXed anyway for any current system :-)

Sadly I think that you cannot raise the priority from 0 to -1 unless 
being root, you can just lower it so that setpriority call may not help 
you. The scummvm problem in the bug was different, scummvm didn't like 
higher priority (or better said - system audio daemon didn't like 
scummvm having higher priority) so the solution was to lower the 
priority from -1 to 0 which worked for ordinary user.
