My question to all this is, if we're just part of a program...
What's the FPS at currently? Will we suffer from FPS death in the future?
QUICK, URIST JOHN, THROW THOSE ROCKS INTO THE VOLCANO SO CLASS WILL END FASTER!!!!

To which the physics teacher replies: "Actually, doing so would only decrease FPS if it did anything. Which, by the way, you would know if you paid any attention in class, John."

Throw John in the volcano, once he's gone the FPS will go up, not that he's using much CPU with his meager brain anyways. :P

The physics teacher would have this rebuttal to that: "Now now, preposterously-sized-cranium-child, human sacrifice will achieve nothing. Once FPS reaches dire levels, there's nothing one can do about it but weep and wait for the tears to fall."

And then they stop, forever in stasis, because the player got fed up with the FPS.

Only until he threw them into the volcano. Everyone knows hauling jobs are the largest FPS sink.

QUICK, JOHN, WALL OFF ALL THE LARGE FORESTS SO PATHFINDING CHECKS A FEW THOUSAND LESS SQUARES!!!
