Previously, if a job used less than 1 CPU,
it was not subject to CPU throttling.

With my change: GPU jobs are subject to CPU throttling
no matter how many CPUs they use.

(Note: GPU apps rely on the CPU to "feed" the GPU,
usually many times per second; so when we suspend the CPU
part of the app, we effectively suspend the GPU part too).

----

The request for a separate GPU throttling preference is noted;
however we're not going to get to it immediately.
