[SLUG] process CPU use

Is there a way to launch a process (or modify an existing one) to force it
to use no more than X% of the CPU? With continual 100% use my CPU gets
rather warm. Sure, I can "nice" it, but that only makes it more readily
yield the CPU to other processes; if nothing else demands the CPU it'll
still use 100%. Is the only solution in hardware, something like a Peltier
device and a big honkin' heat sink?
