I just noticed that while minimized and paused, FTL still uses nearly 100% CPU on all cores. Any chance of getting this addressed?

Like to necro this one - playing on my laptop is burning my legs off!
Is there a sleep(0) in the main update loop? That's how I stopped this in my game
[ed] Gah no it wasn't a sleep(0), it was a 'WaitMessage()' in the main windows loop.

I use sleep(20) to allow the CPU 20 milliseconds per cycle to do other stuff.
I have this problem too and I have a dual core 3.2 processor, I tend to slow down every 60 seconds for around 10 seconds when trying to record the game + audio with Game Booster.
