I'd run things in another language if I was well versed in a second one. It's one way to keep up practice. My ability to read and sign ASL has really been crippled since it fell into disuse.
Indeed, I have noticed. But there's nothing wrong with a direct question.
Agreed.
And that's a nice example of what I like about non-idiotic discussions and how differences come into play. Given the same observation, likely the same presumed reasons, and agreement that asking isn't itself problematic, we still come to opposing straights of, "So, might as well ask!" and "So, no reason to ask!"
In the interest of giving the whole, "it's the i7's fault!", I thought I take a look at some numbers with my i7. So here's ZDoom running widescreen with vsync/cap off, vsync on, and cap on. With both off we do see ZDoom going to town, rendering at a worthless 550 FPS. VSync immediately brings things under control to the monitor's lower refresh rate of 60 FPS,
also dropping the CPU usage. Lastly, the cap drops it a little bit lower at 35 FPS.
