Hm.  Change his/her shell to an executable script, which contains this line.
In your way, you get: "/usr/bin/nice -5 /usr/bin/sh": no shell - or
something like this
But:
what about this one:
in /etc/profile (or in /etc/csh.login) make a big case (switch) statement,
eg:
case "$LOGNAME" in 	# maybe use "$USER"
	user1withLowPrio|user2withLowPrio|...)	# the users, who need lower priority
		renice <priority> -p $$
		;;
	*)	# anybody else
		: nothing, only for convenience
		;;
	esac

That's it.
