Reducing (and measuring?) server load
I’m actually working on a plugin that does exactly this. I use a library called action scheduler to split the import into one “action” per post and then use this library to process those actions in the background using “asynchronous actions” for creating and updating posts. This makes it so that you don’t run into issues with timeouts or import process hogging massive amount of server resources.
