Hmm. I like easy approach, which would be, as before.
When paused, game loops through this over and over, so it is one
big busy loop. So you still need a delay to fix.
Why go make complex code, when add 1 call fix issue? This only
hits when user paused.

ok, defaults is 60.
Something no right then. If framerate = 60, and still eat all CPU
time no matter how fast CPU is?
