It won't slow their connection (that's a function of the network) but
yes, any activity could make another simultaneous activity slower.

Where's your test repository for you to experiment & try things on
without significantly impacting your live repository?

In that case, I guess that I will schedule to execute this program at
night.
Since times with global economy is not easy, my test environment is a
local pc. This is not the best tool to test performance tests.
