Is it possible to limit an apps CPU usage to under a certain percentage using cocoa?

Someone may want to correct me, but I'm pretty sure that that goes against the way the scheduler works -- if there's spare CPU and something can use it, it will give it.


What you can do, is use nice to lower your priority in the scheduler.

In that case, maybe you have an idea for me. I have a daemon that runs and indexes all the images on a system. For each image, it needs to open it up, get some info, close it and store that info. This is very CPU consuming and can pretty much bring the system to a halt after a while.


thanks
