Tame LAME?

I'm using FB2K to shift some stuff from APE to LAME.  It all works well, but kinda kills using the machine for anything else at the same time, as LAME wants all the CPU and more. I'm using XP Home, and I can bring up task manager and move the LAME process to Low priority so I can do other work at the same time, but is there another way to do this (maybe as a command line switch in some other complie) that will tell it to give up a few cycles now and then?  I don't really care how long the conversions take.

add "--priority 1" to LAME's commandline for "idle" priority

I don't see much sense in that because I heard of 'rumors' telling me
I would blow the whole encoding process up beacause of other applications
in the background.
Is this statement true? I don't know at all please help me.

Encoding should be unaffected by any other process running.
Non-secure ripping could be affected.
