[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #55940] pause() takes too long if you call it a bunch

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #42, bug #55940 (project octave):

It's actually been discussed here before, but it only occurred to me today. I
remembered that macOS has a dynamic scheduling power saving feature, and a few
minutes of googling found the right name.

See bug #46845 for the previous report about the same exact problem from 3
years ago that we all forgot about.

Now I've seen some references to this being something that users have to
disable each time an application runs, but also a reference to an API call
that an application can use to disable it internally. If there is such a call
that Octave can use, and that's desirable to do, either unconditionally or
with an Octave setting, I'm sure we would apply such a patch.
