"nice"ness

no you can't just renice quickeys, because (some) quickeys macros take over the whole gui, moving the mouse around, clicking menus and buttons. if you try to do anything with the mouse while such a macro is running, it will likely fail, and even if it still works, it makes doing ANY other task pretty much impossible until the macro is done.

That's right. If I tried to do anything else when running this macro in the current user space even when reniced, then I would have ended up with neither task being particularly successful.

One thing I have found out is that although the macro does work in the backgrounded user space, if you hold down various modifier keys too long while working in the current user space, it can effect the backgrounded macro. I'm not sure whether this was a problem caused by Quickeys or my Classic application, but worth noting nonetheless.
