Well, yeah, it will only affect users with slow enough machines to make it
an issue, however this really cuts down the otherwise quite large segment
of users that would
be able to play the game (the game is otherwise not all that heavy).
Besides, it gives a bad experience for those users for a reason that
doesn't make sense when the rest of the
game seems to play fine for them...

However, if the general consensus is that "hey, if your computer is too
slow....", I can live with that.
