I need to know how to limit how fast applications can run. The specific reason is that I like the Matrix animation for the XLock deal, but it runs at full blast. I'd rather not leave my computer sitting there running full-tilt.
It would probably come in handy for other apps and situations too, though. Like as a saftey measure to keep a program from taking over all the processor cycles.
How do I make my computer pace itself? (solved)

I haven't had the need to do that in a few years. The last time I was running a brand spaken new pentium 75Mhz machine that ran my old Pirates game from Microprose way to fast (I couldn't win any of the duels because the computer would make the enemy pirates so fast). Fortunate the fix was easy Microprose had a disk available to slow my machine down. I have no idea what it did, but apparently there is software available for such a purpose.
