There is a tendency of sharply rising CPU loads, now at extreme level #414

I've made some measuring about CPU loads. I've built all puNES releases from 0.106 (earlier ones failed to build now) to 0.111 (except for 0.108, which also failed to build), plus the latest development version of 0.112. puNES is eating more and more resources; the rising in CPU load is alarming.

Here is a table for illustration:

Version Size (CLang) Size (GCC) Load (CLang) Load (GCC) Fans
0.106 1402K 1402K 50% / 40% 50% / 40% Silent.
0.107 1498K 1497K 50% / 40% 50% / 40% Silent.
0.109 1730K 1733K 70% / 40% 70% / 40% Silent.
0.110 2966K 3257K 87.5% / 55% 85% / 52.5% Bit louder, occasionally spinning up more.
0.111 4094K 4443K 110% / 80% 115% / 85% Loud, spinning fast, continously.
0.112 4103K 4454K 112.5% / 80% 112.5% / 82.5% Loud, spinning fast, continously.

Measured with htop, the settings, the build options and the environment were all the same.

Something started to going wrong after 0.109 and it got worse. If someone gives me advice about how can i measure what parts are consuming this much, i will do it.
