Spin Control can do it, so there must be some way, but it may not be documented or publicly accessible :|

I think this is a poorly-conceived notion, though. Well-written apps shouldn't beachball even when they are busy (well, not for long, at least). And frequently, when you see a beachball, the CPU is already 100% loaded, so it would probably be a bad idea to add more load to the computer at that point.

In my experience, beach balling is often not due to CPU load, but just bad design (ie blocking the UI thread) or CPU non-intensive things like networking or reading from disk.
