 @section Niceness
 
 Thread priority is dynamically determined by the scheduler using a
-formula given below.  However, each thread also has a relatively static
-@dfn{nice} value between -20 and 20 that determines how ``nice'' the
-thread should be to other threads.  A @var{nice} of zero does not affect
-thread priority.  A positive @var{nice} increases the numeric priority
-of a thread, decreasing its effective priority, and causes it to give up
-some CPU time it would otherwise receive.  On the other hand, a negative
-@var{nice} tends to take away CPU time from other threads.
