Take the tour ×  Is there a way to limit how fast a program can
read from files without slowing the program itself down?
share|improve this question From inside or outside the program?
Can you tell it to read from a new path, possibly mounted using
a loopback or FUSE filesystem? –  Ben Voigt Oct 30 '12 at 23:28
Is this specific to compiled C++ programs, or is the system
you're writing this in implemented in C++? The tag is unclear
(and possibly inapplicable). –  WhozCraig Oct 30 '12 at 23:30
Why? What are you trying to accomplish? –  Adrian Cornish Oct 30

anyway. The program would be using the standard Windows file
loading functions not interfacing to the program it's self. –

the question belongs on superuser. –  paddy Oct 30 '12 at 23:52
