Since I bought the new computer it is not the first time I am experiencing a situation like this when a game is working much faster than it should. But what am I supposed to do? Somehow slow the cores of my CPU down?
Nah. It's most likely you're just not playing it right. Also that game is best played in Firefox browser so try using that.
I had to make this post a bit shorter ;-)
Well, I could argue about that. When I was using my previous, 8-years-old laptop many games were running slower for me and some of them I simply could not play because of CPU/graphic card requirements. I mean especially Smokoko's games that are pretty graphics-intense and IriySoft games, especially the night mode in Cursed Treasure 2. Because of the lag it was unplayable for me at that time.
After I bought my current computer I noticed that I can finally play those games, but also many games are running faster for me than before. In some of them it gave me better control, in some of them it increased the difficulty. Surprisingly I am still meeting games that lag for me, but this is probably because of poor optimization of those games or terrible memory management. There is one zombie games series...
Continuing: several times I was checking a walkthrough for some games and noticed that they indeed are working faster for me than for somebody that recorded a walkthrough 3-4 years ago. So probably the hardware matters. Well, even the browser matters. I for example noticed that Firefox seems to be faster while Chrome is more reliable, stable. Yes, I can feel that slight difference.
But returning to the hardware issue: I could make my own video to compare it with those I mentioned and it would show the difference between the speeds of the played games. The difference is possible. It can depend on the way in which the game uses the users' computer's CPU and/or RAM. If it can use more of the computer's resources... But if that happens - it only shows another problem with optimization, but in the opposite way.
Another BTW today: congrats on entering the 400K zone on the list!
