Cycle stealing

English to Hindi Science Computers: Hardware CPU
Cycle stealing has been the cause of major performance degradation on machine such as the Sinclair QL, where, for economy reasons, the video RAM was not dual access. Consequently, the M68008 was denied access to the memory bus when the ZX8301 was accessing memory, and the machine performed poorly when compared with machines using similar processors at similar speeds.
