        nice [<priority-increment>]

  With no argument this returns the current process's priority. 0 is the
  maximum priority and 19 is the minimum. Given a non-negative integer, it
  will increase the priority value by that amount.

  If you always want your Lens processes to run niced, put a call to it in
  your _._l_e_n_s_r_c file. However, this is no longer really necessary since Lens
  will automatically renice itself to 10 if it is actively chewing cycles
  (not idle) for 10 minutes. This lets short interactive process be very
  responsive while long jobs will be nice.

  To be nice:

        lens> nice 10
        10

  To be really swell:

        lens> nice 20
        19
