Hello,

I'm still working out a way to limit the cpu utilization of clipper
programs.

The problem I'm looking now is that even if the usleep parameter is high
enough (say JIFFIE_TIME*100), the process never stops eating cpu, nor
does completes it's sleep time.

Doing an strace I see a lot of SIGALRM which, I presume, are waking it
up all the time. Could it be?

I'm sure I'm missing something.
