Abstract
Approaches for throttling backgrounds processes to a high degree of precision. The utilization of a shared resource that is used by one or more background processes is monitored. A frequency at which the one or more background processes are executed is dynamically adjusted based on the current utilization of the shared resource without adjusting the frequency in which one or more foreground processes are executed to ensure that the utilization of the shared resource does not exceed a threshold value. The monitoring of the utilization of the shared resource may be performed more often than the adjusted of the frequency at which the background processes are executed, and the utilization of the shared resources may be performed many times a second. Consequently, the utilization of the shared resource may be above a certain level (such as 65%) and less than another level, such as 90%, when background processes are executing.
