Throttle=x in prime.ini: see undoc.txt included in the distribution zip / self-installing executable file. There is also an option (maybe applicable only to linux versions) to suspend mprime when the load factor (average number of processes in the compute queue) exceeds a certain value, resurrecting mprime again when the load factor has reduced enough.
