DBCC DBREINDEX is a very expensive operation. It uses a lot of system resources. I would not run them concurrently unless you have a slow period at night or something where you can afford to really halt the system.

Just in case it helps:

We use Defrag, instead of Reindex, because it is uses less resources than Reindex (we still reindex "small" tables)

We use DBCC SHOWCONTIG to locate tables that are fragmented, and only rebuild those.

Short of that maybe doing tables "A-F" on Monday, "G-N" on Tuesday, etc. would spread-the-load?
