[ltp] Duty Cycle program

Does anyone know of a program like nice, but sets the duty cycle (e.g. 50% = 1
time slice on, one time slice off) for a program.  Long running programs,
e.g. "find / ..." or kernel compiles, run the CPU temperature up higher than
I'd like.  If a program could run a bit, not run a bit, that'd keep the
temperature down.

TIA,
