Excellent news! Glad to hear it could be (and will be) resolved. Hey, and you hit #100 right on the nose

There's the crux of the issue right there. You're talking about making a change to the way that the game will perform for everyone, for the benefit of a small minority who have a problem with it.

But, you have to look at it this way. Should a developer change a program so that it may negatively impact 95% of all it's users, so that 5 or less % can be happier with it's performance? </strong><hr></blockquote>

Markus said he fixed this, but just to clarify:

Changing the Priority of the main thread of the program will NOT downgrade performance at all from the game (If you are running it alone). The priority comes in to play when you are sharing your time slices with other programs..and effects how "selfish" the program is with sharing. (Kinda like pre-school).

When it's set to the highest priority, it "hogs" all the toys (CPU) even when no-one is trying to "play". (And that's unnecessary --and will not slow down the game at all).

Hope I explained that well.
