From: "Antti Kurenniemi" 

I've said it before, and I will say it again: the names of things should be
given a little more thought in Linux.

Case in point: there is a pretty good system monitor in KDE (KDE System
Guard), which has a cpu load display. And there's something called
"Nice load". So what the heck is this "Nice" I ask, and
like any good geek I go to google and try: "What is nice in
linux".

Yeah right, ha ha. Mildly amusing, but hardly helpful.

So anyone care to give me a very brief hint as to what it actually is, this
"Nice" that is taking a tiny fraction of my cpu. Thank you.
