Snes9X throttling itself

Hello, I have built Snes9x from most recent source from the official page today, and it works very slowly, even the GUI lags. It reports 2 FPS ("60/60" below, not sure what that means). The weird thing, however, is that my system reports only a CPU usage of 5% by Snes9x. Its process also switches between "running" and "suspended" all the time, so it seems that Snes9x deliberately doesn't occupy the CPU as much as it needs for a good framerate. I use 32 bit Debian 8 (Linux), the problem appeared with the default settings, changing the hardware acceleration mode did not help.
