Yes, it just does use all processor time that's available.

Really? Normally you don't notice the difference. When the priority is
set to "lowest", the emulation thread basically only gets processor
time if all other threads don't need some. What could be the reason is
the blitting of the screen in windowed mode. This can use up the power
of older graphics cards in a way that there's not so much left for
other blitting operations. But that's just a guess.

I suspect "idle" doesn't change anything then, either?
