The nice value represents the priority of a process. The lower the value,
the faster the process runs. The range of this value is from -20 to 20, the
default being 0. A "niced task" is the one whose nice value is negative.
The nice(1) command is used to run a program with modified scheduling
priority. The renice(1) command can be used to alter priority of running
processes. See the man pages for more details.

Hmm, not really. Niced tasks are those whose nice value is negative. Time
spent in niced tasks is also counted in system and user time, so the total
is more than 100 percent.
