Optimizing Irrlicht

when i run irrlicht, my processor runs at 100% till my system overheats. How would you go about making irrlicht use less system resources?

You could do a Sleep(1) within the main loop...
But it depands on the software you're going to code...
If there are many nodes, animations and so on, you could loos performance...

if your system overheats when running at 100% you should recheck your configuration!

but acki is right, limiting a game to a specific fps, by delaying it with someting like sleep might be a good idea too. games running at 1000+ fps is just overkill...
