You can 'nice' the task, to a lower value to give it more cpu cycles.
However, to do so, you will have to be root anyway. It's easy enough to do
with the sudo command though...

Subject: [newbie] Higher priority for XMMS
I've got a question..
I've been finding that XMMS is skipping a lot on my system. Not
because
my system isn't fast, but rather because I've got ALOT of things
going
on on it. (folding, evolution, gaim, gkrellm, mozilla, kdevelop,
gnomeicu, etc...) I was wondering if it were posible to give XMMS a
higher priority (like say realtime)?
(and yes I realize I can log in as root and run the app, but that is
very annoying)
