What I remember of the discussions that surrounded this one, your
summary is correct. The only thing is that nice isn't so much _broken_
as it just isn't doing what you'd expect it to. :-)
I don't think any of the FreeBSD manual pages suggest that nice 20
processes aren't supposed to get _any_ CPU time.
