ABSTRACT:
The present invention discloses a computer apparatus (6-12) comprising a central processing unit (CPU) (32), means (28) for monitoring CPU load, and means (30) for reducing the CPU usage from at least one CPU demand source, thereby to reduce the CPU load, if the CPU monitoring means determines that a predetermined threshold CPU usage is at least reached in which the CPU usage reducing means comprises a thread clamper.
