Wow. Apparently when we go are inactive for a minute or two, we go into "Power-Saving Mode."

It just changes the display (but not the functionality or timing) of the game to use fewer of your computer's resources.

Simple: If you are not actively playing or viewing the game, there is no reason to try rendering at full speed. QED.And: the computer physically uses less power, saving the Urth a little bit.Finally: Flash already does this in many circumstances. We are simply forcing it to work this way and making it clear that it is happening.
