Slowdown utility

A slowdown utility is software designed to make a faster computer run slower. Typically this is used to run old games, which will run too fast or not function properly on more modern high speed machines. Mo'Slo is a modern slowdown utility that uses command line switches to select a slowdown factor. An example of a (non-free) Windows-based slowdown utility is CPU Killer.

Emulation is an alternative to using slowdown utilities. For example, DOSBox can be adjusted to run at various speeds.[1]

Many slowdown utilities work by eating up CPU cycles. Bremze (Latvian for 'brake') slows down PC performance by controlling the speed of execution of programs.
