    Summary: CPU Usage Limiter
    Description: 
    cpulimit is a tool which limits the CPU usage of a process (expressed in
    percentage, not in CPU time). It is useful to control batch jobs, when you
    don't want them to eat too many CPU cycles. It does not change the nice value
    or other scheduling priority settings, but the real CPU usage. Also, it is
    able to adapt itself to the overall system load, dynamically and quickly.
    The control of the used CPU amount is done sending SIGSTOP and SIGCONT
    POSIX signals to processes.
