The application makes a process have a higher or lower priority and thus takes less or more resources from other system processes. In the end leaving user processes at a user level (0 or higher value) is best anyway. The ONLY time I would nice a job to say a negative number is if the computer is going to do NOTHING else but crank away on SETI, RC5, or some other number intensive application (maybe a game too if I have a crap 400-500 mhz system). In the end, it is best to let the OS and the kernel do what is has to do, and that si figure out and schedule events for you.
