I suppose it does what it says in the comment at the front, and fails to
work because you need to define $LIMIT beforehand.

  -l, --limit=N
         percentage  of  CPU allowed from 1 up. Usually 1 - 100,
         but can be higher on multi-core CPUs. (mandatory)


  # cpulimit -l 20 firefox
         Launch Firefox web browser and limit its CPU usage to
         20%
