Thats what --min-cpu-usage is for, without it Pingus will burn the CPU
by busy looping around more or less, with it will simply sleep()
instead of busy-looping. It of course depends on the frame-skip stuff,
if the CPU is to slow to make the targeted framerate and there is no
frame-skip, it will always use 100% CPU. Beside that only the levels
make really use of this, lots of the menus will always busy loop, no
matter what.
