CAAT munching CPU - issue report and temporary workaround

[Rehan O'Grady]

Hi,

CAAT is always a CPU hog on my desktop. It runs at close to 100% CPU usage on my laptop - ubuntu, google chrome. Recently my laptop has actually started overheating and switching itself off!  This overheating happens even when there is no foreground activity at all in my CAAT game.

So firstly the question:  Is this normal? Does CAAT do this when running on iOS / Android (and therefore eat the battery faster than it should)? Can it be fixed?

Temporary workaround (on linux):

1. Install cpufilter (on ubuntu: $ sudo apt-get install cpulimit)

2. Find CAAT process id  ( $ top   # look for process hogging all the cpu )

3. sudo cpulimit -p <process_id> -l 50    # 50 means 50% of cpu

cheers,

Rehan
