Can you limit CPU resources for the running app ?

The users understand that it takes a specific amount of time, however,
they would like to use their workstation for other tasks. Once launched
our app consumes all the cpu resources so the workstation appears
"Frozen".

There's nothing wrong with the application. The OS is broken.
Fix it. Or install a non-broken one.

Note that this is not a case of the the user complaining that the app's
GUI is unresponsive, but rather that the entire SYSTEM is un-responsive.

There's something seriously wrong with the OS.

-- Advice and guidance greatly appreciated.

Pity that Robin et al. wasted all that time making sure wxPython was cross-platform compatible. So much easier to tell the Windows people to go to hell.

Seriously, you probably need to explore the win32* python modules to
handle this. Some googling helps as well:

The priority of the process
determines how the operating system schedules the threads in the
process. The win32process.SetPriorityClass()
function can set the priority.
