| --ee-context-switch-cycles || Accelerate cycles (360 => 0) <br>Decelerate cycles (361 => ∞ ) || Its effects are mysterious. Possibly configures how many CPU cycles the emulator should run before switching between different tasks or threads. Does not work on Jak emulators. Default value is 360. Seems to be useful for Bee Movie, Metal Gear Solid 3, as well as others with IPU issues.|| --ee-context-switch-cycles=2700?
