I was a little worried when playing a game of BW last night when my CPU hit 62ºc due to StarCraft.exe stealing every available cycle. So I made this little plugin for BWLauncher / ChaosLauncher which will introduce small 1ms delays every so often. This greatly reduces CPU usage and thus saves energy and money and the environment etc!

The latest version should now work fine with replays and also have low CPU usage during BNET screens.

Download:
http://r-1.ch/cpusavior-1.6.zip

Source (not required):
http://r-1.ch/CPUSavior.cpp

Install:
Put in the ChaosLauncher/BWL directory and tick the 'CPU Savior' plugin when launching.

Nice! It's always bothered me that blizzard has never released a patch to lower cpu usage below its ridiculous 100%. R1CH to the rescue.

I don't think I'll use it though, i only play on a pentium 2 so im not too worried about energy costs ;p. Maybe on my laptop to stop it from burning me..

Since you asked so nicely, here's the messy source with lots of notes and old ideas (requires BWLTemplate project to build of course): http://r-1.ch/CPUSavior.cpp

It actually never occurred to me until after I posted that it could be interpreted this way. I originally named it CPU Saver and then you can see where my line of thought went...
