Priority manipulation via extending time slices can improve system
throughput if there is limited real memory and two or more processes are
involved in heavy virtual memory mangement swapping. Allowing one or
more process to run longer will reduce the swapping and improve total
throughput. Apart from that you might make things worse, especially if
the system software is already trying to compensate.
