One way is check your cpu usage once in a while, compare with elapsed
time, and if your % usage is above what you want, sleep for a suitable
interval before proceeding.

Tim Roberts: reasons to want to do this might involve a shared host
where excessive cpu usage affects other users; or a computer with
limited power consumption, where prolonged high cpu activity causes
thermal or other problems.
