I think that there should be an option for limitation of CPU usage, otherwise people will avoid to put E@H on their laptops, or computers that overheat. Folding@home has that option, and it works great.
Will this option be available in future versions of software (not as an add-on)? If not... that is a mistake...

Limit CPU usage

Thanks for this suggestion. However we are quite busy testing and debugging the current client and server components with an already defined set of features. CPU throtteling is definetly a nice idea, but not currently our highest priority for the near future. I would really like to see this being implemented, but I cannot promise that this will happen before going public with e@h.

There is already a utility

There is already a utility called ThreadMaster that can apparently do this work.

I know about this aplication and I don't like it. It would be much better if that option is a part of E@H.
