If you are running HTCondor starting from init/systemd as root, by 
default it will use cgroups to limit the amount of cpu used by processes 
in various job. Otherwise, there is a setting, JOB_RENICE_INCREMENT 
which can set the nice'ness of processes in a job on a worker node.

We don't have a way to set the per-file limits, but if you are more 
interested in limiting the total size of all the files a given job creates,

HTCondor can prevent a job from using more total disk space than 
requested, see this link for details:
