I missed that note because in my system it was in
the newer /etc/default/tor.dpkg-dist version that
I had selected not to use in the latest upgrade.
Thanks for pointing in the right direction, systemd.
I got the NICE level set, so let's ducument it here
for everybody to see:
# systemctl edit tor@default.service
(Note: editing tor.service does not work, I tried.)
Text editor opens... put there:
[Service]
Nice=18
Save... it is saved as
/etc/systemd/system/tor@default.service.d/override.conf
Restart service:
# systemctl restart tor@default.service
or
# service tor@default restart
or
# /etc/init.d/tor restart
And the priority of the process is now lower (nice).
