   Might be OK for simulating a very heavily CPU loaded server, but I'd   
   avoid it for simulating a heavily loaded network.  I was involved in a   
   benchmark that was doing something conceptually similar - not calling   
   recv() except at a rate based on the presumed simulated bandwidth -   
   and the zero window situations were inducing TCP behaviours a realy   
   link of that bandwidth would not have induced.  I'm reasonably   
   confident that SIGSTOP would do the same thing.
