          Nix daemon process priority. This priority propagates to build processes.
-          0 is the default Unix process priority, 19 is the lowest.
+          0 is the default Unix process priority, 19 is the lowest. Note that nix
+          bypasses nix-daemon when running as root and this option does not have
+          any effect in such a case.

          Please note that if used on a recent Linux kernel with group scheduling,
          setting the nice level will only have an effect relative to other threads
