I'm not sure this will buy you much perf (never really tried). I guess you might improve the way the OS schedules the SBS processes, but you'd only benefit from high priority when the machine is CPU (or memory) bound. In this case, you'll have trouble elsewhere, like accessing the drive, sending packets, etc. Under unix/linux you can try using nice and renice to change a running process priority and see what happens.
If you really want to avoid the SBS process to sink into swapspace under any condition, I think the only way to do this under linux is to change the process to (fake) real time scheduling. I never tried and there may be side effects. Under linux you can use the chrt command to get/set the real-time scheduling characteristic of a process. If you can get Ram >= 512MB (for a server without GUI) and 1GB (with GUI) you should be fine. I don't believe much else will really help, apart removing/stopping unused services. (And using an inboard data drive for music instead of one on a slow/interrupt-heavy USB link.)
