Sorry that I have to revive this thread. I figured it would be better to than making a new one. We host a Q/A board and want to spell correct all the posts in our database. There are approximately 3.2 million. Our cron task (query for 1000 posts + sent to our spell correct engine) takes about 30 seconds to complete one task. The problem is that when it kicks off, it renders the page unusable so the user ends up having to wait until the task is complete. There are tons of cron jobs that vBulletin also runs, but it doesn't seem to hang the page. What are some reasons why the page would become unusable? I thought the cron job was suppose to run in the background. If not, how can I make it "run in the background" like a real cron?

Thank you in advance.
