Title: FS-UAE Overclocking CPU?
Post by: tonyd on July 08, 2016, 03:15:26 PM
Running OS4.1FE Classic in FS-UAE 2.6.2 on Linux Mint 17.3, it likes to use a lot of CPU.  I tried adding a line to slow it down, as follows...

uae_cpu_throttle = -500.0

This noticeably slows the emulation, but doesn't do much about the CPU usage.

Today, according to System Monitor, it's using around 180-200% regardless of what I do.  It heats up the CPU, and keeps me from trying the emulation for long before I think I should quit.  Is there anything I can do to fix this?
