proc_get_status
Just an addition to the previous note re: exec('renice...'). The exit_func() will not set the priority back to normal (0) (at least on linux), unless the user that the webserver is running as is a super user (bad idea). You can decrease the priority of the running task, but not increase it again. See man page for renice.
To prevent subsequent requests running at the lower priority I called apache_child_terminate() on shutdown.
proc_nice
(PHP 5)
proc_nice — Change the priority of the current process
Beschreibung
bool proc_nice
( int $increment
)
proc_nice() changes the priority of the current process by the amount specified in increment . A positive increment will lower the priority of the current process, whereas a negative increment will raise the priority.
proc_nice() is not related to proc_open() and its associated functions in any way.
Parameter-Liste
- increment
-
The increment value of the priority change.
Rückgabewerte
Gibt bei Erfolg TRUE zurück, im Fehlerfall FALSE. If an error occurs, like the user lacks permission to change the priority, an error of level E_WARNING is also generated.
Anmerkungen
Hinweis: Availability proc_nice() will only exist if your system has 'nice' capabilities. 'nice' conforms to: SVr4, SVID EXT, AT&T, X/OPEN, BSD 4.3. This means that proc_nice() is not available on Windows.

If you don't have PHP5 and needs to nice your process this works good.
<?php
function proc_nice($priority) {
exec("renice +$priority ".getmypid());
}
//You also need a shutdown function if you don't want to leave your http deamons with a modified priority
function exit_func(){
// Restore priority
proc_nice(0);
}
register_shutdown_function('exit_func');
?>
