smbd is started by /etc/init.d/smb
Find where that script starts smbd, and prefix smb with something like
this:
nice -n 7
This isn't a particularly elegant solution, but it will work.
You should note that upgrades to Samba may overwrite /etc/init.d/smb, so
you may need to make this change again after an upgrade.
