Anyone tried 'cpulimit'?
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/admin/cpulimit
limits the cpu usage of a process
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 them to eat too much cpu. It
does not act on the nice value or other priority stuff, but on the real
cpu usage. Besides it is able to adapt itself to the overall system
load, dynamically and quickly.
For certain purposes it's better than 'renice'. Obvious problems are
that 'cpulimit' needs to be 'root', and its command line syntax is a
bit cumbersome.
It'd be cool if 'htop' could run 'cpulimit' on tagged processes. It
would probably only work as 'root' however, unless there's some
clever way to get around that for user processes.
Hope this helps...
