This sounds like a job for control groups (cgroups) - you can use the 
cpu.shares setting to restrict how much of a share of CPUs processes in that 
cgroup can get.

The Arch Linux documentation says:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/cgroups

# Similarly you can change the CPU priority ("shares") of this group.
# By default all groups have 1024 shares. A group with 100 shares
# will get a ~10% portion of the CPU time:

Worth a shot!

All the best,
Chris
