Vice slows down and clogs on my damn machines like I was running it on a fucking 486! Seriously, WTF?
Remember when you tried to run CCS64 with full features on a 486 or P1 in the golden years of dial-up internet? Oh yes, it was shitty. And nasty. And noisome. And you wanted to tear out all of your hair for having such a lame machine which can't run the damn emulator as it should. But the time passed, powerful boxes become less expensive, emulators got better, everyone became happier.
Yet, here we are again, only it's 2009 and I have a fucking state-of-the-art machine which runs Photoshop CS3, that shitty piece of bloated software, just as the wind blows a crappy feather on a breezy autumn day!
So, look. Every time it is on, and meanwhile I slightly touch even a fucking, meaningless scrollbar - or MERCIFUL GOD FORBID!!! - I move a window 5 pixels away from it's position, Vice, this beautiful, well thought, optimized-to-the-bone software - which by the way, also enjoys turning off "true drive emulation" randomly just to annoy the shit out of me and aggravate my weak nerves - clogs and jams and stalls and generally slows down.
Could someone explain to me why is this happening? Pretty please. |

Right, he was my first thought as well. Oswald might easily be the most responsible person for everything bad, in existence! |

its normal, windows is multitasking and at the moment when you move a window simply it steals too much resources from VICE so it cant continue at 50fps. PS3 and other stuff doesnt needs to show stuff at 50fps so tightly timed as VICE, so you dont notice this. maybe it is possible to change task priority somehow for the scheduler ? anyone ?
ps: jammer wins :D |

Must admit, actually it was really funny. :D
@Oswald: yep, a CTRL+ALT+DEL -> x64.exe -> high priority solves the problem but come on, don't tell me it's perfectly fine that moving a scrollbar in a Notepad window should slow down the fps in Vice. |
