You can slow down a loop by calling Thread.Sleep(milliseconds) within the loop. That hands the CPU back to the scheduler.

But 'consuming too much CPU' makes me think you might have more fundamental problems. Is this thread polling and waiting for something else? If so, you should consider the use of Events or some other kernel-based signalling mechanism.
