Run the Squeak instances at lower priority, e.g.

  $ nice squeak myserver.image&

Or this, which also drops the priority:

  $ nohup squeak myserver.image&

This will reduce the cpu hogging, and will have little or no
negative impact on the perceived Squeak performance.

If you need to change the priority of a Squeak server that is
already running, use the "renice" command.

But of course something else may be wrong if your Squeak servers
are gobbling up 100% of the cpu.
