On a linux/unix box, you could run the whole process at a higher nice level to give other processes priority, but I've never found it to cause any problems (I run on Fedora Core 4 predominantly). I take it you're running some flavour of Windows? If so, I guess Linux just multitasks better than Windows. One idea: when flac2mp3 is running, go to the task manager and set the process priority lower.
