Where does it day "nice"? When one re-nices a task, one changes the priority of tha task... esentially you are telling the computer that task x is more important than task y so that the computer knows which tasks it should devote the most resources to. I would assume that wherever you saw the word nice, the computer is allowing other processess to superceede priorities of those particular processes. Hope this helps!

I like to think of it as a "feature"

Good to hear it worked
