I'm thinking about installing extra videocards for GPU mining on a LAMP server that I actually use for developing and/or cronjob events (such as backups and similar), so I'd like to ask if this setup might affect also CPU time while mining or the CPU will still remain generally unaffected for its normal operations.

With ATI GPU, your CPU is used heavily during the dag creation phase but after that, there's almost no impact on CPU except the whole computer heat generated. Also disk access and network are lightly used during mining. I think you just should try and see it by yourself but if your computer is well cooled, you should be ok.
