Or send email to 3ob2@qlink.queensu.ca and ask him for his SLOW program
which he finds useful for pentiums esp. (It is postcard ware, i.e., free.)
>Type SLOW followed by a numerical value. The higher the value the larger
>the delay. A value of 250 is a moderate slow rate. After executing the
>command (by pressing the ENTER key), SLOW will be installed but NOT
>active. Activate and deactivate the power of SLOW with the SCROLL LOCK key.
>(When SCROLL LOCK is ON, the power of SLOW is on and vice versa).

There also exists a free commercial utility MOSLO from the Ultima company:
