Dear Admin

The bulk import is really a very helpful feature for the video sharing site when admin of the site can import videos from youtube to populate your own site with content.

The problem is that is very server intensive and webmasters who have shared hosting, their server providers get annoyed because of the excessive use of resources.

What should be the best cron job frequency to avoid excessive server load? I know you may say, try different frequencies but the question is which should be the best even to start with. I don't want to get the hosting suspended for over utilizing the resources. (which happened to me and I had to pay extra money to resolve the problem).

I have heard that there are certain commands in the text of cron job which can be better to utilize less resources.

Please help with whatever you can!

Very very grateful for any solution suggested by anyone.

Thanks
