[OLPC-Games] Reducing pygame cpu-load to < 4 %

[Rachid El Guerrab]

Simulation doesn't depend on user input every frame. So any game that uses
any simulation code (ball falling, stars blinking, whatever...) will ne cpu
time even when no user input is present.

It can be minimized a great extent, but not zeroed out.
