cpulimit - Limit CPU Usage

cpulimit limits the CPU usage of a process (expressed in percentage,
not in CPU time).  It is useful to control batch jobs that can
otherwise eat too many CPU cycles.  The CPU usage limit is enforced
by sending SIGSTOP and SIGCONT POSIX signals to processes.  All
child processes and threads of the specified process will share the
same CPU usage limit.
