Good idea: I would even suggest that this feature is dropped from Miller's Pd as well (on Linux at least, I don't know other OSses anymore) as there now are much better mechanisms to alleviate priority than running as root, especially the PAM-rtlimits approach. I don't run a setuid-root Pd binary for months now. However I have believed that Pd *does* drop root priviledges after it has changed its priority. Have I been fooled?
