CPU usage

Hi,

I would like to limit the usage of CPU to the amount X percent for a
speciffied application. (that means that when there are no other
applications running, the specified application would use no more than X
percent of CPU power). Is is possible? If yes, than how can I do it.

Yes, hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete. Taskmanager pops up. Right click on the service
that you want to change. Set the priority!

Grandpa has the layman's crude common method (non-programmer) of doing
it, but if you're really industrious, you can obtain the source code
from the vendor, then add logic to manually manipulate system
resources, such as pointers, memory, cpu processing, etc - of course,
you'll need to write your own algorithms to accomplish the percent
process you are speaking ;-)

Hmm, that's an option, but I was rather thinking about something built in
into Windows, like getting to the System Process/Thread Manager and
configurating it in some way. :-/
