I have a nasty Stored Proc that takes 10+ min. It slows down the server when I run it i.e. CPU. I am in no BIG hurry to get the results and I'd rather not bother the other users by slowing down the server. Is there a way to run a query in a low priority mode, which even though would take longer, would put less stress on the Server?

If you place your query inside a SQL job, you can explicitly define when it runs (2:00AM) or configure it to run "when the CPU is not busy".
