nice 19 <command>
Will effectively only execute the command using "spare" CPU cycles, i.e. it should have zero impact on other processes running on the same machine. Generally speaking, rsync will use a bit of CPU, especially if you add "-z", which may impact for example on your desktop (or game :) ) performance. Using "nice" just means you can run this from "cron" literally without noticing. (sort of "bwlimit" for the CPU)
