Exactly. The problem is, when the emulator is spending most of its time in the GPU, reducing the CPU usage isn't gonna do much. The FPS won't change, it won't reduce, so it will still be spending just as much time on the GPU.

There quite a few games which spend a lot of time in the CPU for the emulator, like the Tekken games and Soul Calibur.

I reckon VIRGIN's suggestion could make for a nice speed hack on the side for those CPU heavy games.
