Calibre give you complete control over the resources you give its worker processes. Go to Preferences - Interface - Behavior and change Job Priority from Normal to Low.

I would guess that 99.99% of the folks primarily use the GUI.

If the above isn't enough then go to Preferences - Advanced - Miscellaneous and check the box Limit the max. simultaneous jobs to the available cpu cores.

Doing the top item I suggested allows me to do whatever I want while calibre handles bulk updates for me.
