Might I suggest you also add a comment like this into locate-cron.daily?

Using IONICE_CLASS is a trade-off between locate database consistency
and friendliness to other processes.   The nicer we are, the less impact
we have on system performance when updating the database, because we
generally spread our usage out more.  Spreading the usage out a bit more
means that updating the database takes longer and the result is a slightly less
consistent view of the filesystem.  Since it is not possible to get a perfectly
consistent view anyway, using IONICE_CLASS=3 is normally reasonable.
