I'm only guessing here, but while it is probably true, that a process
with a lower priority will not decrease the power consumption of the
server it is running on, you should see an increase in responsiveness
for currently active tasks, like X2Go sessions in an active/connected
state. Which would allow you to stack more users onto a single server,
rather than having to buy a second one. And that's quite an energy
consumption there, both in electricity during its lifetime and in
electricity/resources needed to build the server.
Of course, this is assuming that a certain percentage of your users is
always idle/suspended/disconnected or not logged in at all.
