Bugzilla Bug 211397

A small patch to nice daemons started by /etc/init.d/clamd.
All three daemons typically run in the background and especially clamd uses a
lot cpu time.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Neat idea. I'll get to it hopefully tomorrow after work.

Changes committed to the tree, thanks!
