        ------------------------------
       
       One of the truly impressive tools I discovered this week is cpulimit. 
       It allows you to limit how much cpu percentage a process can use. It 
       is specially indicated when running cpu intensive applications. In my 
       case it is 'ffmpeg'.
       
       I use 'ffmpeg' on a daily basis to convert my .avi videos to .mp4. I 
       often run the script at night with cron.daily but the problem arises 
       when I need to run it during the day. Here comes cpulimit to the 
       rescue:
       
        $ cpulimit -e ffmpeg -l 800 -b
       
       Here is a quick explanation:
       
        -e ffmpeg (the process to limit)
        -l 800 (I have 16 cores: 800 = 50%)
        -b Run cpulimit in the background to free the terminal 
       
       Really impressive (and handy)
