(I really have no say in this, I'm just curious.)

[1] explicitly mentions cstream as a bandwidth-limiting pipe already in 
Debian. Another program with such functionality is pv (also in Debian). 
What feature does throttle add? (Does the "-w window" option make it more 
useful in certain situations, perhaps?)

Manuals for comparison:
- throttle (-w) [2]
- cstream -t    [3]
- pv -q -L      [4]

Thanks,
