[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/01c7af3303bf4273abbc2c038e1d373050870389e04914d93b9cb240a6ba4f86/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f676f776f726b2f7468726f74746c65722e7376673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/gowork/throttler)

Use the throttle to control the speed.

```
use GW\Throttler\Throttler;

$throttler = new Throttler(1.0);

foreach ($heavyTasks->all() as $task) {
    $throttler->throttle(); // wait a second... before next task
    $task->run();
}
```

Alternative usage for wrapping iterables:

```
use GW\Throttler\Throttler;

$throttledTask = Throttler::iterable($heavyTasks->all(), 1.0);

foreach ($throttledTask as $task) {
    $task->run(); // for each iteration it will sleep one second
}
```
