Not sure, but I think he's looking for a tool to suspend the CPU like in a
laptop, maybe??
Might try Google

I decided to see if such a thing were reaally needed in DOS
After about 5min of running in DOS, rebooted to Linux to check temps.
Starting lm_sensors: loading module adm1025 smsc47m1 OK
adm1025-i2c-0-2d
Adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at efa0
CPU Temp: +100.4°F (low = +32.0°F, high = +260.6°F)
M/B Temp: +84.2°F (low = +32.0°F, high = +260.6°F)
Stopping lm_sensors: OK
I then rebooted back to DOS and ran many CPU intensive programs
for about 90min
Next step was to reboot into Linux to check the temps again.
Starting lm_sensors: loading module adm1025 smsc47m1 OK
adm1025-i2c-0-2d
Adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at efa0
CPU Temp: +118.4°F (low = +32.0°F, high = +260.6°F)
M/B Temp: +104.0°F (low = +32.0°F, high = +260.6°F)
Stopping lm_sensors: OK

With only an 18°F temp rise on the CPU after 90min of intensive use...
IMO, no such thing as a CPU sleep program is needed in DOS
