Perhaps a better solution is to determine why mysql is 'hogging'
resources in the first place.
There is a tuning section in MySQL manual.

Why, yes-- see /etc/login.conf and the priority keyword.
Some shells also let you adjust the priority levels for various users.

Many shells offer nice as a built-in keyword, with syntax that may vary
slightly from what /usr/bin/nice uses. Either try "/usr/bin/ nice -n 5
_command_", or use "nice 5 _command_" under csh/tcsh. sh/ ksh/zsh ought
to understand the -n flag and be more similar to the external command
under /usr/bin.
