FYI: Throttling is merely part of identifying what is causing the problem.

Unless your simh VAX cluster member is VERY busy, throttling at 80%
will probably use at least 15 times more host system CPU cycles than
Idling.  The 80% number will really use 80% of one CPU core continuously 
even when nothing at all is going on in the running VMS environment.
