You can use nice to make it have less "priority"
nice -n 20 your_script
If some other process needs CPU power more than your script, it will and
hardly anyone will notice anything. You can also pick a time that is when the
host is less used. I guess that script of yours uses wget, which is quite CPU
friendly application, you can tell it to limit bandwidth usage, if you fear it
would use up that too much.
And it's nothing you need to run every day, so I don't think you will have any
problems.
