Now that the amount of memory can be controlled according to the idle state of a system, it would be cool if the CPU throttling and/or the CPU limit could also be controlled thusly.

For instance, the impact of BOINC could be pretty low on an SMP system if it would run on only a single CPU when not idle. Even lower than letting the process priority decide how much CPU time it gets, particularly in Linux, which guarantees that even a low-priority process gets some CPU time (typically on a system under load, 5%).
