AFAIK the nice command has been broken for a very long time. Just bring up Activity Monitor and check it out. You will fine the %CPU used by "nice"
processes is always zero (unless you are using a really old OS).

Thats a bug in ActivityMonitor not reporting nice'd processes
properly, I have a bug open with Apple about this. If you use top on
the command line then the nice'd processes will be properly displayed.
