No it would stay at pretty much 100% (as is normal). But co2 goes down, which lessens the ability of oxygen to come out of the blood. That's why you get dizzy when hyperventilating

I mean it's still C++ that's compiled and executed, surely the compiler would be able to provide a way to hook into that?
