Hi there. I've been messing around with BGB and Fceux on my Macbook using either Wine or Paralells running Win XP. In both cases the emulator will experience considerable temporary slowdown (2-4 seconds) when the processor moves on to other applications. I've been watching in activity monitor, and it appears small jumps in processor requirements from other apps is causing the issue. I'm not maxing out the CPU either.
Has anyone found a fix for this kind of slowdown? I'm looking to give win xp in parallels or wine processor priority. I couldn't possibly perform with this lag, and don't find writing as enjoyable with it either.
