Yes the applications will slowdown. For mostly IO application the difference
will be negligible.
Limiting cpu usage will be useful in multi-user environment, where few of the
cpu hogs like firefox can be controlled so that other applications perform well.
For temporary/fix-by-hand we can use nice level of the process to limit.
man nice, man renice will provide more information.
