> To make it slower, I assume?  When is that a good idea?

It depends on what status your server are.
For example:

- if I've a fsck in background so the I/O is high, maybe I want to make 
it slower
- If the box is completey unloaded maybe I want to make it quicker

-- 
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that 
brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass 
over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner 
eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only 
I will remain.

Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear.
