I would like to see an inbuilt push button to switch the rendering process
to minimal (1 frame a second or so - or maybe just paused) so that for when
you just need the AW chat you can stop huge amounts of CPU power being
needed to swap data in / out of the aworld.exe's paging sectors.

Will be a big help where chat is all that counts.

A frame rate you can select?

Ya - if I'm reading this request right....

Often the frame rates depending on which direction you are face vary
greatly, resulting in poor performance in general.

For example, in a high built up area I could be facing a direction that has
no build up at all (like the sky) when the frame rate kicks up past 20fps
and 120 visibility, then want to run off into the direction of the high
build-up. I have to wait a while until the frame rate and visibilty drop
down before I can move.

Therefore, I think it would be even better if you could set a maximum
visibility in the same way you can set a minimum visibility in the browser
settings.

hmmm - seems like I got something I wished for... or close enough to it

"Added Limit frame rate to browser options in settings / performance (since
build 562)"
