Are you speaking of running fewer tasks than CPUs/cores are in your computer?

If yes, try
On multiprocessors, use at most 99% of the processors
Enforced by version 6.1+
in your Computing preferences. My example would leave one CPU/core unused.

Okay, that would be 25% or 50% of the processors respectively ;-)

You can set that option in your local or online preferences (local wins if different).
