[COG 8.0.0 Linux] Runs 100% glitchless, but uses a lot of resources

CrossOver Games 8.0.0
Ubuntu Studio 8.04 64-bit and Zenwalk 6.0 32-bit

The experience is 100% glitchless, I found not even one small quirk. Except it eats a LOT of resources:

  • Ubuntu Studio 8.04 64-bit, Athlon X2 @2500 MHz, Radeon 2600 XT -- game eats 60% of each core
  • Zenwalk 6.0 32-bit, Pentium-M @1400 MHz, Radeon Mobility 9000 -- game eats 100% of CPU, and overall screen fades and animations are a tiiiiny bit sluggish

Update regarding CD protection: I forgot to mention that I own a genuine copy of the game, and COG had no problem with the CD protection.

Tested again with:

  • CO Games 7.0.0: 100% of my Pentium-M @1400 CPU and visibly more slow than CO Games 8.0.0
  • CO Games 8.1.4: exactly as reported initially about 8.0.0
  • CO 9.0.0 beta: exactly as reported initially about 8.0.0
