Description Rudi Lippert 2007-10-16 06:46:52 UTC

tong uses all the CPU time it can get because of a loop without a timer. The proposed patch limits the frame rate to 22.2, thus reducing CPU load without any impact on gameplay.
I will also send the patch to the developer. However, I'm not sure whether there is still development on this game, so I suggest adding this patch until the issue is resolved upstream.
