Can I define CPU usage limit for an application?
Bonjour,
There are many times, when I could really use a little software to decide that this app is only allowed to use 20 % of the processor, so that I still have enough power to do other things at a reasonable speed.
For example when rendering a video, which uses full CPU like crazy, sometimes I don't care if the video takes 3 times longer to render, as long as I can keep doing other stuff with my computer at a good speed.
Or when video skyping, which uses a lot of the processor, I would be fine with Skype limited to 30% of the processor, giving me only 1 frame second, as long as it doesn't slow down my video rendering too much (contrary to right now where my video rendering is taking 3 times longer just because I'm on cam in a situation where I could clearly survive with a lower skype performance).
So what I'm trying to say : does anyone know of a nice easy straigh-forward little app that would allow to control how much power each app is allowed to use?
Or if no app exists for that, any easy quick way to do it on the go?
Thanks a lot !
