In fact, if you want to limit the amount of resources your script eats, you'd want to use
nice, but considering that you probably want to SPEED UP the script, you have a few options:
- migrate the entire search mechanism to the database
- unbuffer script output through server, so client gets something while waiting for next results (gives illusion of speed)
- use ReiserFS for that FS speed boost
- use smart cacheing, perhaps the easiest option to implement
- use the unbuffering I mentioned above in congruence with Bone::Easy to insult the user away from waiting for further results
Good luck!
