the faster your cpu is, the faster lame will finish encoding, but it still
uses as much cpu time as it can get.

you should try "nice -n 19 lame -whatever_your_options_are"
now lame is running with a lower scheduling priority, which means that lame
still uses all cpu time it can get, but only if no other application needs
it. your system should behave quite like you were not encoding anything in
background then.
