Re: Running bochs is pegging one CPU core

Thanks. This works.  I looked at the doc for slowdown option in
http://bochs.sourceforge.net/doc/docbook/user/bochsrc.html but cannot get
it (see below) clearly. What's meaning and especially for reproducibility
and host-time correlation. Sorry for the stupid and simple question.
