How about keep a count and sleep for a while if the count is exactly a multiple of 100? Or even, wait for all the processes you have spawned so far.
Also have a look at the nice and (if you have it) ionice commands. Those can be used to tell the scheduler to give other processes priority over this one, but if there are none others competing for resources, still let you run at full speed.
As an aside, as always, anything involving the cat of a single file is usually better phrased with redirection.

All of the sudden scp got really slow ... from 2-3 seconds to 30 seconds.

script(1) User Commands script(1)NAME
script - make record of a terminal session
SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.
The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.
NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.

script can pose a security risk when used in directories that are writable by other users (for example, /tmp), especially when run by a
privileged user, that is, root. Be sure that typescript is not a link before running script.
