Inconsistent/turbo game speed in windowed

[Former user]

In windowed mode on lower resolutions, the game sorta alternates between normal speed and running twice as fast. I'm using an 8 core i7 at 3.7GHZ.

This was once reported before as issue #100. I still can't reproduce the issue on any of my systems. My Windows computer is a Core 2 Duo 2.2GHz so it could be something that only manifests with faster cores.

If you turn on the fps display (Tab+D) does the game go to 140fps when it speeds up? Is it possible to get this happening in a video (even if it's a camera pointed at the screen)?

Looks like this happens in Wolf4SDL as well: http://diehardwolfers.areyep.com/viewtopic.php?t=6872

Looking at the function which keeps the game time, I don't see off hand what could cause it to go wrong, but obviously it must. Nevertheless there are more precise ways to do timing, which may increase performance.

Finally could reproduce on one of my systems so fixed in changeset ac90d09
