This question came up from a visitor to the NetBSD booth at Linux Expo 
Toronto today. (We have no net connection at the show)

Is there any way to specify that a process should receive no more than
x% (say x==25) of available CPU time? He would like to use a limitation
of this sort in order to perform some clustering performance tests.

I'm not aware of any function that allows a process to be not run if it's
the only thing that's runnable - just because it's over 'quota' on CPU.

Any thoughts on a simple hack to allow this - as I can't see enough 
requirement to give it a full design workup - except as part of an RT or NRT
project.
