_s VS action-scheduler

I tried a lot of themes, in my experience GeneratePress is the fastest, unless you decide to go fully custom and go with _s (but it will be a lot of dev work).

If you've got dev chops in PHP, then Underscores is a good "starter" theme to build your theme off. It looks after a lot of the WP related stuff, letting you focus on the template/HTML/JS/CSS stuff.

Just to add since your new to WordPress and want to save a bunch of time you can use this springboard of a theme that's designed to be turned into what you want and saves hours of time. Underscores

This makes it so that you don’t run into issues with timeouts or import process hogging massive amount of server resources.

- action scheduler(queued background processing) , which still uses wp-cron but can be replaced with a custom implementation

2) For something this large, that will happen on a recurring basis, look into WP Action Scheduler. It's developed / maintained by Automattic currently, and is used in such large-scale plugins as WooCommerce: https://actionscheduler.org/

I would use ActionScheduler. It's designed almost exactly for something like this: https://actionscheduler.org/

Action Scheduler is a library bundled with many other plugins, including WooCommerce. It's used for, as the name suggests, queuing actions. https://actionscheduler.org/

There are sophisticated ways for background processing in WordPress like Action Scheduler used in Woocommerce, which has automatic adjustments like:
