yes… we needed two run-ups before it started. I remember the sentence like " then users should not stay long in main menu" 
But I assume its all how the requests come to the devs. And some users requested / spoke not only about “avoid simple the 3d hangar rendering so gpu have nothing to do”, instead lots of people spoke about “limit fps”. And I think we also made a little mistake in topics merge. The linked topic heading is like ‘all of it’ : “Lower Resources in the Menu, Downloading, and Minimized. FPS Cap” . My own seperat topic " 100% GPU load : main menu : because background hangar rendering " was merged into these big topic, but it was in special only related to the hangar rendering. As point of the big topic “lowering resources” the merge was semanticly “ok” ( also if not exactly the same ), but the down-side : the devs seen the whole more bigger topic , instead only a part of it.
And may be therefore we got these new LPM with e.g. these vsync-features ( as a try to limit the fps in that way ). It was not realy necessary because users can limit fps by itself. But I would say, if these LPM works and will not be the next 100years in state “experimental”, its ok…
