The limit to 60 will generally drop it below if you are already at 60.

The limit to 60 is supposed to cut down on CPU usage, but I haven't seen one system yet that did not run at nearly 100% CPU with the SS. No matter how much memory or CPU or what you check.

You can't run anything as intense as the aquarium on a laptop for a long period of time without asking for trouble either immediately or in the long run.
