The problem as described is a desire to have CPU power go unused which won't be addressed by this.
I missed that point.
The program that periodically uses sigstop/sigcont seems like a good option, but I think that the real problem as desired isn't something you want to solve.
+1; might also be feasible to set a CPU frequency governor such that it isn't allowed to hit high frequencies, or is forced into powersave mode (with hysteresis guards, of course) if the temperature gets too high.
