   7-Zip doesn't have any speed throttling feature. Everything will run as fast   
   as possible.   
      
   The only thing which can affect compression speed, is the number of CPU core   
   usage limit, as well as compression type and/or parameters.   
      
   Use third party tool such as BES to throttle the speed of any application.   
   It can be used to set an application speed to e.g. 33% of its full speed.   
      
   7-Zip doesn't support text mode interactive command input like the DISKPART   
   tool either. There's probably other archiever software that has such   
   feature, but I haven't seen any or tried to find one.   
      
   However, with VBScript for example, it can be used to buffer the 7-Zip   
   output, and spit the lines onto screen at slower speed. Of course, this   
   means that while the lines are still being spitted out by the script, 7-Zip   
   may already finished its job and its process has already been terminated.
