The priority of a process determines the share of time the process is + alotted on a system's one or more processors (CPUs or cores). A nice + process, or one with a higher nice value, concedes priority to other processes. + Adjusting the nice value will increase or decrease the scheduling priority.

+ +

The lower the nice value, the higher the priority of the process. The nice + value ranges from -20 (low nice, higher priority) to 20 (lower priority). The + default value of nice is usually 0.
