  • Ticket #542 – Description

    initial v2  
    77With the help of [http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=44738 this thread] on the Seti forums, we may have come up with a solution. As posted by Odysseus:

    9 "''FWIW it would make the most sense to me if the whole thing were to be inverted:
    10 
    11 ''Reduce CPU usage by: [default=0] percent[[br]]
    12 ,,Enforced by version 5.6+,,[[br]]
    13 ,,(Pauses processing every few seconds to improve cooling in portable or compact computers.),,''
    14 
    15 ''Something like that, anyway. I imagine the preference form could easily convert the percentage back to the usual format (and vice versa when displaying the current setting) so as to avoid having to make changes to the implementation in the CC.''"

    1717This does mean that the default isn't showing as 100%, but as zero. We also get rid of the mentioning of the CPU time. And there could also be a hyperlink added going off to the Wiki page that shows how this throttling works. (Not existing yet)
