[Rpcemu] RPCEMU edge case use - CCl4

I know I'm a very much edge case user of rpcemu (probably).

I use rpcemu to run "headless" fish.ccl4.org, which is a viewdata bulletin
board - it used to run on an A5000, orginally on a Demon employee's
baseband line and various DSL lines since. The A5000 packed in a bit ago
(though I still have it somewhere).

For various reasons it now runs on a VM "somewhere" using rpcemu, with a
config of:

bridgename = br0
model = RPCSA
mouse_twobutton = 0
network_type = iptunnelling
mouse_following = 1
cdrom_type = 0
cdrom_enabled = 0
refresh_rate = 5
stretch_mode = 1
sound_enabled = 0
vram_size = 2
mem_size = 32
ipaddress = 172.31.0.1
cpu_idle = 1

With this it takes about 12% or less cpu on idle.

There is no window manager, just Xvnc.

I use hostfs, I haven't tried it recently but with cpu_idle=1 it quickly
resulted in corrupt .hdf images previously.

I tried the new version with the shift to Qt and it does seem slightly
confused with the lack of a window manager and the cpu has increased to
more like 16% or more on idle.

This is the interpreter, the recompiler has always taken lots more % when
I've tried it.

I've gone back to the "old" version, but any suggestions ? Can any simple
tweaks be made to cope with my usage ? I would very much prefer to not run
a window manager (even Matchbox) - VNC access is not the norm, but
occasionally neccessary for admin.

Running the old version is not a problem per se, but I would prefer to
keep uptodate if possible.

Thanks.
