#11 Idle CPU
When using BasiliskII on a PC when running Mac OS 8.1
the entire CPU is taken up since MAC OS does not
reliquinish the CPU back to the Host's CPU. Therefor
your Host OS run's at 100% utilization. I know I can
change the Low Power Mode and set the number of
Miliseconds to sleep. But that is not the most
efficient way of dealing with this problem. Much like
when you run emulation software like SoftPC or VMWare
you need to run Idle software to allow the guest OS to
return idle CPU loops back to the Host OS.
In theory all it should require is to write an
extension or something which tells MacOS that when it
is idleling to return those idle cycles back to the
CPU, then I would hope that BasiliskII would return
those idle cycles back to the host OS.
This is seen in the thread:

Any thoughts on how this problem can be worked around?

Furthermore. I am running Linux version of Basilisk ii ver
1.0 on amd64. In forums you've been told to enable "idle
sleep" with idlesleepenabled option but such option doesn't
seem to be recognized by basilisk:
WARNING: Unknown preferences keyword 'idlesleepenabled'
How so?
