So, what I'm trying to say is if it is actually a weight, just use weight
values instead of arbitrary mapped nice values. Nobody can tell how the
latency nice value of -2 compares against, say, 3. If you can define it
clearly in terms of weights (or something else clearly describable), it'd be
a lot better.

Thanks.
