If you're really concerned about it, then idprio them:
idprio 31 rc564 <whatever>
This will cause the process to _only_ execute when there is nothing
else that can run; nice +20 will still grab a little tiny bit of
CPU time every now and then.
Functionally, it doesn't make much of a difference, but for the
paranoid, the option is there, and it can't hurt if you're running
the rc5 client on a machine that's used for other things.
