Is there a way to configure Splunk to make scheduled searches having a higher priority than ad-hoc searches? 

I know that we can do it using the Workload Management but since we don't use it yet, I hope there is a way to do it without the Workload Management.

You can set limits on the relative number of ad-hoc vs scheduled searches that can run on a SH: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.0.4/admin/Limitsconf

The setting max_searches_perc is worth investigating. This will give more room for the scheduled searches to operate. You could also have SHs dedicated to scheduled searches
