Asterisk in our case is running at the default priority "0" as set in the
safe_asterisk script. This uses "nice" to set the priority, so less
niceness is the answer to your question.

Note: 
We use nice to have external processes, such as PostgreSQL, to run them at
a "nicer" priority in contrast to Asterisk. And it doesn't really matter
whether asterisk is running at a "less nicer" negative priority lower than
"0" or not.
