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. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
