I notice in watchdog everytime statistics run, it spikes the CPU for about 1 hour.

Is there a way to lower the priority so it takes longer to run, but does not gobble up the servers CPU?

Thanks!

My guess would be to find the cron job that runs your stats and add the nice command. (most likely in etc/cron.daily/)

nice 10 usally works well

# minute hour day month weekday command

Example:

# minute hour day month weekday command
0 1 * * * nice 10 backup.sh
