Priorities determine how many CPU cycles a program gets relative to other programs. The higher priority it is, the more cycles it gets. Setting a game to a lower priority would make it go slower, not faster. Generally, it is best not to screw around with priorities unless you have a specific need, since adjusting the priority of one program may adversely affect all the other programs currently running.
