I'm happy for this to go ahead as I will want it on always by default, 
however you pretty much kill the folk who prefer to 'nice' tasks to prevent 
interuption to other applications rather than using it to say "I do not care 
how long this task takes".

I know on our proxy server there are a few rebuilds which we run at a nice'd
level, not because we do not care how long they take (we want the rebuilds to
finish as soon as possible) but rather so that squid's performance is not
affected.

Cheers
