Splendid, it turned out that way (latency nice analogous to bandwidth nice).

Yes, thank you.
Thus, I'd like to propose avoiding the use of "limit" in this context and stress the horizontal scope. For example:

+ This interface file allows reading and setting latency using the + same values used by sched_setattr(2). The latency_nice of a group is + used to modify group members' latency with respect to sibling groups.
