nice(1) not very nice

[Tom Stockfisch]

The nice command of csh (on the 4D series machines, at least) does not
nice things very far.  nice +19 is supposed to be the maximum niceness,
but the split in cpu time between a job so nice'ed and a job with
not niced is only 20/80.  That is if you have one nice +19 job and
one not-nice'ed job, 20% of the cpu time still goes to the nice'ed job.

I would much prefer that the split be more like 2/98.  Does anyone know
if there is a way to reconfigure things so that this is possible?
