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.
