either use ionice (linux-only) or read /proc/loadavg (i think) and stop
your task as necessary in order to ensure the load does not go above 1.

What's great about the 1-minute loadavg is that it is the most accurate
(or least inaccurate) way of tracking system interactive responsiveness.

I remember I settled on tracking loadavg for the index process in
advanced search services.
