Limit the CPU Usage of a Process

Edit Package cpulimit
http://limitcpu.sourceforge.net/

cpulimit is a simple program that 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 they eat too much CPU. It does not act on the nice
value or other scheduling priority details, but on the real CPU usage. Also, it
is able to adapt itself to the overall system load, dynamically and quickly.

- update to 3.0:
  * Fix an important bug in LimitCPU when the program is
    monitoring both a program and its child processes via the "-m"
    flag. In the past, it was possible LimitCPU would fail to spawn
    new instances to monitor child processes if LimitCPU was not in
    the user's default path. In other words, if we were launched
    from /usr/local/bin and this directory was not in the default
    path, then child processes might not be monitored. And the
    failure would happen silently.
  * Now LimitCPU will try to do a better job of launching new
    monitors for child processes and it will print a warning
    about any errors when run in verbose mode.
