CPU hogs as a distinct user will end up entitled to a whole user's
share of CPU bandwidth. That's just what it implements.

This depends on how nice levels nest with task group weighting. If
they nest within task group weightings, the shares of CPU bandwidth
for single tasks having their own dedicated task groups will not
vary with nice number. It's harder to do the other way around with
hierarchical scheduling, but easy if the task groups merely determine
task weights.
