Correct. Discrete games really take every cycle with gratitude they can get. Please bear in mind:
You are emulating a discrete game running at about 14Mhz. This means we are modelling quite a number of devices connected to this clock. In addition, the analogue components are modeled using a SPICE type engine. So we are doing tons of Ax=u linear system solving in parallel and for time domain components repeat this until a newton raphson algo found a solution.
Real hard number crunching.
