I am trying to emulate the feel of an application on lower spec systems, running on Chrome. Is it possible throttle the CPU and put limitations on resources?
For this, type chrome://flags in the address bar (Omnibox), and hit Enter. Look for the Quick intensive throttling after loading setting. Select Enabled in the drop-down menu available for that setting.
Explaining Chrome's CPU Usage These typically relate to your browsing behavior, including having too many tabs open at once, too many apps or browser extensions running and streaming high-quality video. Likewise, auto-playing videos, animations and excessive ads can also cause these problems.
CPU throttling is available in Chrome stable under the Performance DevTools settings.
DevTools > Performance Tab > Settings (gear icon) > CPU
Chrome has introduced CPU throttling (it's in canary channel as of 22 Jan, 2016. Update: now available in latest Chrome, checked in v54.0).
Goto DevTools -> Timeline and select from dropdown.
