The priority setting relative to other processes. So a high priority process gets more CPU time than a lower priority process. It will not improve performance of any process in itself, just allocate more available CPU time when that is scarce.
What are the other processes running on that machine? i.e. does the machine have enough grunt? a good way of checking this is the response times to Softsqueeze menu changes. If people are experiencing drop-outs, you might want to check the network. The streams can take quite a bit of bandwidth, and that should be multiplied by every person listening at a particular time. you could consider higher buffer settings (I believe you can set this in Softsqueeze). I would not recommend limiting bitrates using LAME. This costs a lot of CPU time.
