I figured out that I can either start a process with nice -n 10 <command> or
if it is started with start-stop-daemon, then I can use -N 10 as argument to
start-stop-daemon.

I'm using it to nice nfsd and sshd to higher levels. I am using my mythtv
box as a backup box as well for another machine and I don't want nfs and ssh
transfers causing recordings to get screwed up.
