Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: at

Processes in queue "a" are run with niceness 2. There is no way to
request a lower niceness like 0.

This matters because some power-management mechanisms leave the CPU at a
lower frequency and don't speed it up for programs with with niceness >
0 that need more CPU.

This behaviour is intended in the source code. The relevant line is:
nice((tolower((int) queue) - 'a' + 1) * 2)

** Affects: at (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

Lowest nice value is 2 instead of 0
