That’s about the difference between Myth (1 or 2) and Glest, at the moment. With the older software it is more efficient to allow active background processes and programs to run without the foreground application to stutter to it’s real-time input, yet things such as Glest would demand full attention of the entire system.

That’s why the forks of prior engines, such as Quake 2, the Dooming engines, and even Quake 3 (particularly ioquake3) should be extended for more reach in their playability.

It’s looking a little parallel to Myth 1(or 2) with higher resource usage, and when you are running this with your head far from the screen then you realy start wondering if the details are worth applying when you can’t actually benefit from them; you know how the fog of war works in the game, yet the same fog can exist between the screen and the beholder.
