Single request's performance

[Michael Per]

Scenario: intranet application, one request may take a long time and a lot
or resources to process and it is sort of valid: request is complex and
client is willing to wait. However while this big request is being processed
performance of other requests running in parallel suffers greatly.

Question: is it possible to limit system resources that are allocated for
every thread? This way the big request will take its sweet time and other
requests won't suffer that much... Maybe there are other solutions to "bring
the balance to the force"?

Advises are greatly appreciated.
