Description : cpulimit is a simple program which attempts to limit the CPU usage of a process
: (expressed in percentage, not in CPU time). This is useful to control batch
: jobs, when you don't want them to eat too much CPU. It does not act on the nice
: value or other scheduling priority stuff, but on the real CPU usage. Also, it
: is able to adapt itself to the overall system load, dynamically and quickly.
