I agree, but for the record, 'nice' and scheduling are no panacea in my experience. It's fine for CPU loads, but compilations are also disk-heavy (which mattered when I used a spinning disk) and sometimes RAM-heavy (-j8 on my pet C++ project uses 2GB of RAM, which could push other programs I'm using into swap).
