[X-Unix] limit cpu usage

[Kuestner, Bjoern]

>>
The only reasons I've heard for doing this is to artificially slow down 
the processor to reduce power use on a portable running off a battery 
or to keep the processor running cooler. I've never had to consider 
doing this, but those are the reasons I've heard others mention.
<<

I also remember when some old software (games) was running too fast on
modern machines so this might help to throttle them?
