Try RC3. Here the 'Technological Death' demo works with normal 68000 CPU
emulation with cpu_speed=real. top reports 20%-30% CPU utilization on my
1800MHz Athlon.
It's probably worth pointing out that on Linux hosts unless "Don't busy wait
when idle" is checked in the GUI, CPU usage won't reflect the actual work
that UAE is doing, since E-UAE will use busy waiting for delays. On 2.4
kernels (unless its a kernel with low latency patches), this'll be off by
default and UAE will busy wait. On 2.6 kernels task scheduling has a much
lower latency, and so UAE can use system-friendly methods for waiting.

I don't see this. Try with RC3 and see if this still occurs.

I'll investigate this.
