FYI Pygame high cpu usage.

It all depends what version of pygame you are using. I was using 1.9.3 whl.
I was getting 100% usage for a simple program.

I made a quick search and indeed it seems to be a problem across all platforms.

Has anyone managed to build pygame from source on a Windows system? A tutorial on that could be a handy addition on our list of tuts.

If the bug is being discussed then they will fix it. I think i am still using 1.9.2 though. But good to know there is an issue going on....thanks.
