How can I reduce the %cp available to a running process?

I have an app (SonicStage) which, when compressing MP3 files to ATRAC3
format, takes too much of the cp. This causes two problems -- first,
other apps run too slowly, and, more importantly, the CPU heats up to
such an extent that my system can become unstable.

I'm running XP Home at SP1. (I can't use SP2 at the moment as it
conflicts with one of my peripherals.)

If the CPU is heating up too much, you should consider adding/replacing the
fans in the system. A better cooling plan would never hurt and will always
help you syetm.
