If you wrote the application or have the source available,
man 3 nice
man 2 setpriority
If you don't, you can create a wrapper for the app (and install it
instead of the application, moving the real thing into another location,
if needed), like this one (untested):
#! /usr/bin/perl -w
use POSIX;
POSIX::nice( 10) if $>; # i.e. if not root
exec { '/usr/local/bin/application' } @ARGV
or print STDERR $!;
