 If you compile e.g macports or other things the cpu is going berserk, and
 if you use virtualbox fusion the virtual machine almost get locked if you
 don't change the priority to a very low level of such cpu hogging
 processes.
 i think it would be a overall improvement for many processes (system
 responsive) to add this auto nice daemon.
 i use it for tools like Handbrake or unrar, par2 and a lot of other cpu
 intensive tasks. so it will be a great improvement.
 actually i know it runs on FreeBSD according to the developers of and, but
 i think its trivial to port that thing to OSX.
 thanks
