normally I work locally on my Indigo and the graphics (more specific the
X server) is very fast. Now I want it to slow down by a factor of 10..100
so I can see what happens to my program on loaded communication lines
Also it makes it easier to check for redundant draws (those that can
be elft out without any harm to the net result)

I tried to do this naively, by simply starting many programs. This however
makes the system behave in bursts (I runs a little time on one program
swaps the next program, runs that etc...) I would like a smooth
degradation of my otherwise fast indigo as if it runs on a clock speed of 
2 MHZ (or lower)

Can this be done, without altering the source code of my program?
