Is there a way to tell MS SQL that a query is not too important and that it can (and should) take its time?
Likewise is there a way to tell MS SQL that it should give higher priority to a query?

Not in versions below SQL 2008. In SQL Server 2008 there’s the resource governor. Using that you can assign logins to groups based on properties of the login (login name, application name, etc). The groups can then be assigned to resource pools and limitations or restrictions i.t.o. resources can be applied to those resource pools
