Running it with Common Lisp or Emacs Lisp makes no much of difference. Shell as language is not quite comfortable for PostgreSQL database processing, may be good for video processing. One video may be alone 1-2 days of processing length. When interrupted without possibility to continue, one may lose one day and have to restart it. Maybe better way of doing such jobs is to enter them into the queue and have process handle the queue.
