Surely you don't need to set a temperature limit? If you
do, the cpu will still run (far too much, but less than now)
up to that lower max temperature.
Wouldn't it be better to limit the amount of cputime that
the hogging application is using?
I wondered this too. It reminds me a little of the old joke.

DOCTOR: Then stop going like THIS [FLAPS ARMS]!
Google suggests that "nice" or "cpulimit" might do that.
I would do
$ man -k limit
and see what looked interesting. prlimit(1) looks like it has a lot of
switches.
