pmacct can work with either captured packets (i.e. copying packets from the kernel to the userland process) or with netflow data (just sending flow information, so much less memory copying is involved). So *if* this is what's causing problems you might have a way to reconfigure that would cut overheads. How are you unprioritising? I think you mentioned that you weren't queueing in one of your earlier posts.
