The problem is that the more CPU cycles your app eats, the
less CPU cycles are there for your app/game/programm.

Maybe you don't need to use SDL_Delay with a delay that
high, have you tested it with SDL_Delay(1) or SDL_Delay (10) ?


But the best thing indeed is to look at the actual frames,
if you would possibly get 80 FPS and need only 60 FPS
then give the 20FPS free with SDL_Delay.
