Silent Hunter get more cpu time and the other programs get less cpu time. In total this means that the game will get less glitches, less cutoffs, less interruptions, when you get interruptions/less cpu time you sound may stutter, your game may stop or not respond for a few milliseconds, you get more fluent gameplay.
More horsepower per second so to speak. If you have 10 programs running on your computer and one of them happens to be silent hunter 5. If all of them have normal priority they each get the same amount of attention from the cpu per iteration.
Giving an application more time slice also means you get more cpu power, more computations can be computed per iteration, it is equl to having a more powerful processor (technically), but in the actual game, it just might still be slow because of the low performance of your cpu, but technically speaking it will have more cpu horse power available. That does not mean your cpu neccesarily is capable of producing enough horsepower to make the game run fluently, but it will get more horsepower per iteration.
So naturally it pays off to also switch off all applications running before you launch silent hunter 5. All of those applications get its own time slice of the cpu, if you shut it down that time slice is freed up and spread across the remaining applications.
