Does changing process priority do anything?

Giving a process a higher priority won’t make it go faster. Your programs will never use more CPU time than they need (or more than 100% obviously). It just means that if you have two processes that both want CPU time, the one with a higher priority will get it.

Does changing priority improve performance?

Nope. Priorities don’t affect processing speed, in that a higher priority process doesn’t get to run faster or even to use more CPU time… not if it’s the only thing that wants to use the CPU. To really talk about this we need to mention threads. Processes don’t “run” in Windows.

As such a CPU bound realtime priority thread can totally ruin a machine.
