Performance

The game is made to sit in a corner: in the background it uses about 185 MB of RAM. These settings save even more, without changing anything in the game itself.

Performance options
Option	Default	What it does
Frame rate (FPS)	15	How many times per second the strip is drawn (10, 15 or 30). It's the setting that saves the most CPU: 15 uses ~25% less than 30; 10, ~40% less.
Effects quality	High	Amount of particles, auras and buffs drawn (Low, Medium, High). Low uses less CPU with many buffs active.
Reduced animations	off	Turns off background scrolling, idle breathing, glow and animated effects, and draws the strip less often.
Release idle memory	on	While the game is idle (windows closed or a full-screen game running), returns unused memory to Windows.
