Is it best to set my CPU at a fixed frequency if running DOSBox with cycles set at max? If the cycles are set to max in DOSBox is it possible that DOSBox won't lower it's cycles to the appropriate maximum amount my CPU can handle promptly enough automatically when there is a drop in CPU frequency and DOSBox ends up overshooting the amount of cycles that my CPU can handle for several milliseconds, maybe causing an audio dropout or a brief stutter during panning? Is it better to set cycles to 80% of max in DOSBox to account for my CPU's varying frequency as my CPU, a Ryzen 5800x, varies it's frequency between 4.45-4.85 GHz at stock depending on CPU temperature and CPU power consumption and I wonder if this delta would cause issues with having cycles set to max in DOSBox?
