A user can also be niced by login classes:

gccuser:*:1000:0:interactive:::gccuser:/home/gccusr:/bin/csh

with /etc/login.conf (less /etc/login.conf, man login.conf, man 5
passwd, /handbook/users-limiting.html):

interactive:\
:priority=20:\
:tc=default:

To renice interactively, you can su - gccuser, do so manually, or
spawn/exec the current login shell:

exec bash --login

with ~/.bash_login:

renice 20 $$
export PS1="[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\j:\w]\$ "

But be sure not to nice background processes -- it might break the
warrantee

You could either modify your scripts to use nice, or start a new shell
with an appropriate nice level. All the processes you launch from that
shell will inherit the nice level of that shell:

$ nice -20
