Tyrian 2000 scrolling issue6/15/2023 BIG cores, occasional slowdowns (2.7 -> 1.8 ~ 33%) are almost inevitable. As soon as core 3 and 4 chime in, it goes down even further, to 1.8 GHz for all 4 cores. As soon as the 2nd core is utilized (for whatever reason at all), both are clocked down to 2.3 GHz. On my S9+, the first core is clocked at 2.7 GHz. This would also explain why fixed cycles are working as intendend.Īlso, things become even more complicated with the way the. In short: running Dosbox at max cycles is calculated relatively to the cpu core it’s running on So when Android pushes the process to a low power core, Dosbox is still running at max cycles, but only relative to the. On the other hand, it seems to me that for this reason the process is offloaded onto the low power cores. So, what hits hard here IMHO is, that Magic Dosbox, or Dosbox in general, is pretty well optimized, and light on the cpu. Now, the S9+, at least my Exynos variant, is notorious for having really messed up cpu management, up to a point where people suspect it’s being crippled on purpose. Only on my S9+ do I experience slowdowns every now and then, when I don’t take additional steps to prevent this. Here’s why: I’ve got six Android devices to test on (S9+, S7 edge, Note 4, Note 2, A5 2017, Tab E T560), and this issue is completely nonexistent on 5 of them. I still do believe though that it’s related to some sort of cpu power management. I agree that a problem such as this is really annoying.
