2. have a user space daemon poll running tasks periodically and renice them if they are running specified binaries

Both of these solutions have their advantages and disadvantages, are (obviously) complicated than I've made them sound and would require a great deal of care to be taken during their implementation. However, I think that they are both doable. My personal preference would be for the in kernel solution on the grounds of efficiency.

Better would be to have the kernel tell the daemon whenever a process in exec-ed, and you have simplicity in the kernel, and policy in user space.
