In version 3.6 for Windows there are two options on the 'Render' menu for 
controlling this; the Render Priority can be set to avoid it dominating the 
machine and the 'Duty Cycle' setting for "unusual cases of heat 
accumulation".  Are you saying that they don't work or aren't there in 3.7 
beta 27? or that you can't get them working?
