@gavpedz,
Preloading is basically force loading all your pages, so you might have a small spike in CPU usage (depending on how resource intensive your pages are for the web server). You can try to set the preload post interval to a lower value, maybe even to 0, so that the script finishes faster. Maybe that can help. Or increasing it to allow the CPU to rest a bit between page calls.
To be honest, we’ve never had any issues with CPU during testing. Could you please share your hosting specs?
Best regards,
Anton
