Yeah, I meant freebie VMWare. Hm. Does Linux have a per-process CPU limiter? I could limit VMWare itself.


Yes, there was (and probably still is) a config flag for dumb dos/win programs in VMware almost from version 1.0 onwards -- I've forgotten what it was called, but something to do with keyboard polling I think.

Alternatively or in addition, you can probably renice the VMware process to a low priority.

Mmm.. I wonder if that wretched code will run under Wine ?
