Yes the applications will slowdown. For mostly IO application the difference 
will be negligible. 

Limiting cpu usage will be useful in multi-user environment, where few of the 
cpu hogs like firefox can be controlled so that other applications perform well.

For temporary/fix-by-hand  we can use nice level of the process to limit.
