This is a feature request for allowing the user to set the priority/niceness of the processes spawned by ninja.
The idea comes from the recently added "Low Priority Builds" feature of MSBuild which they described in a Blog Post.
At least for Windows it should be pretty easy to add one of the priority classes to the process_flags of the CreateProcessA call in subprocess-win32.cc
