Hello,
Does limiting CPU usage mean the time taken by the application to use the
CPU?Would'nt limiting usage slow down the application?

Limit the CPU usage of a certain application in Linux
You can do this by installing cpulimit. You can limit a certain
running application either by name or by process ID:
cpulimit -e firefox -l 30
This won?t let Firefox go beyond a 30% CPU usage limit.
If you?d rather go by process, you can do it like this:
cpulimit -p 3493 -l 40
