Is it possible to allow a specific user to be allowed to create
processes with any priority (niceness)?  After all, I trust myself not
to hog the CPU!

Making the "nice" program sudo is not good because then the command it
runs executes as root, which is a security problem and sometimes gives
incorrect results.
