Depends what you mean by throttle. I use VMware Fusion and with that you 
can certainly limit the amount of RAM, or number of CPU cores each VM 
gets to see. You can't (AFAIK) throttle them to only get x% of the 
available CPU power for a given core (so for instance give one VM 1GHz 
worth of a 2.5GHz core...).
