There is a website running under nginx. There is a dedicated user that runs nginx and php-fpm. There are "heavy" scripts that are run by cron, at the moment of their launch, access via the web practically stops, everything lags very much. How to reduce the priority of scripts or balance the load between them so that they run in a reasonable time (5-10 minutes now), but the website does not slow down during their execution?
