User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.8; rv:26.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/26.0 (Beta/Release) Build ID: 20130910030254 Steps to reproduce: 1) Wait for the page to auto-load Actual results: Ran fullspeed, but nomed up a whole CPU core. Expected results: Lower CPU utilization. Right now we're about 3x to 4x slower than VBA (VisualBoyAdvance).

Probably should throw in a "turn off/lower your sound" warning, as the sound starts when the page loads.

The games that busy wait and don't utilize the low power mode of the emulated GBA still have a hard time running full speed. Some games under this category are Pokemon Red & Emerald (But NOT Ruby/Sapphire), Gunstar Super Heroes, Super Monkey Ball Jr, Megaman & Bass, Kirby, and Super Mario Advance
At least Firefox Nightly is way faster than Chrome Canary (like 33%) when running this. If it was on octane instead of gameboy-emu, I think google actually pay attention to it. ;p
Severity: normal → S3

Visually, we are as fast as other browsers here.
Nightly: https://share.firefox.dev/3AkNqX4

Calling this as fixed.
