Hello, I have discovered that using vwait eats up my cpu cycles. when using vwait my cpu operates at 20-25% w/o its at 2 - 7%. Is there anyway I can safely run my program on slower computers w/o vwait??

using frame limiting code?!?

Yeah, use framelimiting code and use Flip False. Or don't use vwait. Just use flip true. Does the same thing.
