Added a new --throttle option

[gnomelibre]

hello,

Would it be possible to add a new --throttle option to easily define the fraction of time that threads should be idle?

[cazala]

what would the usecase be?

[gnomelibre]

The options --threads and --throttle would allow us to finely configure the computing power and thus the system load. Especially since the official client already allows it:

.setThrottle(throttle)

Set the fraction of time that threads should be idle. A value of 0 means no throttling (i.e. full speed), a value of 0.5 means that threads will stay idle 50% of the time, with 0.8 they will stay idle 80% of the time.

I support this idea

sorry i misunderstood when I read this yesterday :P i thought you were asking for an option to specify the idle time (like in milliseconds) instead of a percentage.

Yes sure, i'll add the option
