On Windows, bring up the Task Manager, Processes tab. Look for the
process you want to throttle. Right click it, and use "Set Priority" to
give it a below normal priority.

I get very frustrated by this, because back in the 1970's I worked on
this problem in NCR's VRX operating system. The state of the art seems
to have regressed from the paging algorithms that were well known at
that time.
