+ *
+ * The number of time slices per frame controls the size of a single

+ * in a single chunk. That is, it computes a frame, sleeps, computes a frame,
+ * sleeps, and so on. A frame can be time-sliced to make the emulator more
+ * responsive and let it react faster to external events such as joystick
+ * movements. For example, if two-time slices are chosen per frame, the thread
+ * computes the first half of the current frame, sleeps, computes the second
+ * half of the current frame, sleeps, and so on. Note that increasing the
+ * number of time slices can increase CPU load and jitter, even in pulsed mode.
+ * Jitter may increase because time slices are distributed equally between two
+ * wake-up events. Hence, the later chunks will be computed close to the next
+ * wake-up event and may, therefore, interfere with the VSYNC event of the host
+ * computer.

  * To speed up emulation (e.g., during disk accesses), the emulator may be put
