Simulate slower machines

Is there a utility to simulate a slower machine? I am looking for something that analyses your computer's performance, and allows you to define what kind of performance you want to simulate, and then it calculates the difference and puts some load on your system that causes the difference to occur in order to fully simulate a slower machine.

I would suggest setting up a virtual machine using VMWare, VirtualBox, or something similar. This will allow you to modify RAM size, number of CPU cores, and other details about the machine.

If you want CPU load, why not just have a program that will take up a variable amount of load, which you vary with a slider and suck it and see.

You could have a program which alternately executes an empty for loop 'n' times and sleeps for 'm' milliseconds or microseconds, whichever you can achieve on your system.
