Just run it under nice(1) from the start. Also, note that the CPU usage and load averages may be calculated differently in FreeBSD vs Linux (different method of weighting the average, etc). Just because ps shows the process using 75% CPU, that doesn't necessarily mean it's only running 75% of the time; the weighted average just might not have caught up yet. The weighting is done to give some stability to the numbers; if they were only "instantaneous" CPU usage figures then they'd be oscillating around wildly.
