Description

When I run some games through drrun.exe, they appear to run in turbo mode, for example the game says 60 fps but the characters and environments run at like 800 fps, initially I thought it was the tool I created (to convert F16c to standard CPU instructions to make the game more compatible with old CPUs), but even without the tool it runs fast, it's like messing with the internal timing of the game, I was testing it on StarOcean The Divine Force.

Nothing special to reproduce just drrun.exe -- SO6.exe, not sure if it affects other games I will test more later, on a side note I did test dynamorio version 9 to version 11, all versions are affected, version 8 makes it run in slowmo :)
