On a real, honest to God, BSD or SYS V system, the "nice" command can be used
to give relative percentages of the available CPU resources to different jobs.
On our Alliant FX/40, for example, we found that jobs in the "nice +10" catagory
got about 40% of the CPU resources while the remaining jobs ("nice 0") got about
60% of the CPU resources. Unfortunately, "nice" on the Apollos seems to simply
alter your Aegis upper/lower priority bounds.
