Years? edit

In the 1980s, utilities such as SLOW and SLOWDOWN were used for this purpose.

Maybe "1990s"? --Peter Porai-Koshits (talk) 08:36, 23 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

WP:NOTE edit

I believe the information in this article can be safely folded into Emulator#CPU_simulator (emulated clock cycles) and Sleep_(system_call)#Uses (sleep/resume quickly). If anyone can think of other ways to slow execution down via software in a different manner, chime in. 98.16.151.124 (talk) 08:11, 31 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

  Done All useful information from this article has been folded into the DOSBox and Sleep (system call) articles. Proposing deletion. 128.12.254.132 (talk) 12:26, 9 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
Therefore, it may not be deleted. Read Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. It could be redirected etc. Christian75 (talk) 13:52, 13 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
Ok, the page has been redirected to the section of the Sleep (system call) article that describes what a 'slowdown utility' does. 128.12.254.132 (talk) 06:58, 17 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
