Ever had this situation?  Go to Youtube to watch the latest fashion in wedding dances, and suddenly your CPU goes to 98% and everything on ..... the ..... box ........ slows ............ to ........ a ........ crawl.   Well there is a way to prevent that overrun and get back control of your system. 

A  project caled CPULimit at sourceforge has for me presented an answer. In a nutshell what it does for your system is tell a running process that it can't consume more than X percent of the CPU max.  In practice on my laptop what I have seen is that while a video is loading I sometimes get some jerkiness for the first 30 seconds. Otherwise, no problem and normal performance, without the CPU overrun.
