Recommended nice level for NRPE?

[Kyle O'Donnell]

We rolled out nrpe with a `nice` of '+5', but noticed that we would have a
number of service check timeouts.  We have increased the service check
timeout to 45 and even 60 seconds on our older systems.  We expect to
remove the `nice` though.  Monitoring is too important :)
