Mo'Slo, and programs like it, create busywait loops in software and are 
extremely poor at slowing machines down gracefully enough to run finicky 
time-sensitive software (read: games).

A better solution is slowing down the clock of the machine itself, or 
disabling caches, or lowering the bus speed, or all three.  Check 
http://www.oldskool.org/pc/throttle for one such program.
