First, rather than replying on the noise your CPU uses, use a performance tracking tool. if you are using Windows, you have one built into the task manager. Just press CTRL+ALT+DEL, and look for the tab that has the graph. Second, read http://docs.python.org/lib/profile-instant.html for an explanation of how to use the python profiler. it will help you identify which parts of your code are running the slowest. Third, if you post your main game loop here on the list, we may be able to offer more specific suggestions. --- James Paige
