It will take longer, the less resources are used.
As for me, I have a desktop I built myself almost 2 years ago, and while it is still a pretty damn good system, it is by no means cutting edge. With that said, I have priority level at 'Below Normal' and I can still use my system for gaming and such with no real issue.
One last thing, and this is just a general observation, you should look into getting one of those USB powered cooling pads you can place under your laptop. In my experience, those things do a great job at keeping the system cooler.

I have a cooling pad, and yes, they work great.. My laptop has a very good GPU as well with 1 GB dedicated video on a great card.. Nvidia M260 I believe.. But Like I said. Other than Downloading a HD torrent then saving it to my HD then doing the simple copy, and paste it to my phone, I just thought there was a fe other ways to do it.. Ill try it again, maybe adjust the settings down , and try the priority level you suggested , thank you!!
