CPU usage at 18% when running my game

[danielmccarthy]

Is it normal for an irrlicht application to take up 18% of CPU usage pretty much all the time its between 12-18% cpu usage.

That's exactly what mine uses ;p

Use vsync to limit cpu usage to visible fps.

A main-loop will take all the processing power it can get (every loop does). Which in a single-threaded application means it will use one processor. If it uses less then there is some place where the application releases the processor (aka - some sleep call).

I'm already delaying by 10ms every loop around
