Ad hoc knowledge about system load?

Nachricht
Hi,
 
sorry, for being a bit lazy. Does anybody have ad hoc knowledge how I can query system load. I'd like to limit a program to not consume more than a certain amount of system load, so that the user can work while a background job is executing.
 
Any pointers welcome.
 
Thanks
Andreas

Isn't that usually done with priorities?  Seems like something the OS
should take care of to me.
