which version of freebsd are you using ? on 6.x, it nice(1) says,

NICE(1)                 FreeBSD General Commands Manual                NICE(1)

NAME
      nice -- execute a utility at an altered scheduling priority

SYNOPSIS
      nice [-n increment] utility [argument ...]

DESCRIPTION
      The nice utility runs utility at an altered scheduling priority, by
      incrementing its ``nice'' value by the specified increment, or a
      default value of 10.  The lower the nice value of a process, the
      higher its scheduling priority.

      The superuser may specify a negative increment in order to run a
      utility with a higher scheduling priority.

      Some shells may provide a builtin nice command which is similar or
      identical to this utility.  Consult the builtin(1) manual page.

and this is consistent with the usage of nice within ast_monitor_stop().
