Running JACK at a lowered nice value will not give you any lower latency
and is considered a bad idea, as JACK already uses the pthread APIs to
acquire real-time scheduling for the time sensitive threads.  Running it
at a low nice value could cause non real-time parts of JACK to interfere
with the audio engine.

If this does improve your latency it means there's a serious bug
somewhere.
