No.

Or perhaps you could try forcibly lowering the priority of the partition related processes below 0 (say -1). This could lead into some serious lagging and could well trigger some timing related problems (the driver would not be able to respond to hw events within some timeframe). If you do this, be prepared to have problems.

Executive (free keyfile) might help a bit. The system will still be laggy, but at least the remaining CPU time should be shared more fairly.
