When I use the emulator version 0.18 for windows, I get 100% CPU usage.
Is this a point known ? Is there an issue ?
I'm just worried about my computer health after a few hours ;-)
It's not as robust as a real alphaserver !

This is normal (for now). Each emulated CPU will keep one processor core busy for 100%. Right now, the emulator has no way to tell whether the emulated CPU is busy, or in an idle loop. We may implement some kind of driver for the OpenVMS running inside the emulator to provide this kind of information, but right now it's not a priority. The main priorities right now are to improve some of the source code comments, and to get everything to work as it should.
