alice-teacher Fwd: High CPU Utilization on Macbook Air

[James Vanderhyde]

I also have a MacBook Air (summer 2013 model), running Mavericks. I haven’t had any problems with running Alice 2. However, it is true that the CPU is constantly maxed out. Alice 2 has always been this way, in my experience. Because of this, Alice 2 tends to destroy laptop batteries, so I would run it while plugged in if possible.
