We need more information. I'm not sure what you mean by "nice." Is BOINC slower now? Or does BOINC crash? What is your Mac? A G5? What versions of OS X and BOINC software were you running before the upgrade? Finally, do you have an anti-virus program? If so, what type of anti-virus do you have? The reason I ask is I've recently encountered problems with McAfee VirusScan on non-Intel Macs.
And the processes are still running in max nice mode, but the bug in the Leopard kernel causes several tools to report the wrong "niceness" for the science apps.
The bug has been reported to Apple and should be fixed...some day. :-)
Process no longer running as "nice".

This has also been reported in the SETI@home Mac Q&A forum. I guess it’s something the BOINC developers will have to address in a future version.

From what I've read in the quoted forum, it's not a BOINC bug but actually a bug in the Leopard kernel. http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=44823&nowrap=true#708137

Even after 10.5.6, there's no fix in sight...
It's even worse with Snow Leopard, Activity Monitor doesn't even show the percentage of "niceness".
