Ok, I added:
nice = 15
to my /etc/xinetd.d/amanda configuration file and will see how that goes.
Thanks for the tip!

Don,
The easiest way is to lower the priority of the amandad daemon that runs on
the client. If you are using xinetd, you can just add a nice entry to the
amandad service. If you are using BSD inetd, you can use the nice program;
change the command from "amanda dgram udp wait
amandabackup /usr/sbin/amandad" to "amanda dgram udp wait
amandabackup /usr/bin/nice /usr/sbin/amandad"
