Sokoban & 100% CPU

[Ben Dragon]

Sokoban is an excellent SDL based game.

However, it totally subjugates the CPU, maxing the meter and hogging the
machine.

Is there anyway to regain CPU control so my system returns to its
natural, zippy behavior and background tasks have some breathing room?

Thanks.

Hmm. How do I tell which version I have and where do I get the latest
SDL?
