Streaming PCM should use the least CPU, as it's what I receive from the spotty helper. Transcoding to flac/mp3 would use more CPU, but less bandwidth. I doubt this is the bottleneck, but feel free to play with it.
You could set logging for plugin.spotty to INFO, then "tail -f server.log" (the exact path you can find in Settings/Information). Watch the log while you interact using the Spotify app on your mobile or desktop. You should see events triggered in the log when you change a track in the app. Is there a lag in between those? Or is the lag introduce later, when the streaming starts? What kind of internet connection are you using? And don't try to mess with those processes. You're more likely going to cause problem than solve anything.
