[mohaa] realism and higher CPU?

Now that I look over things more carefully after your comment, it does seem
as though some maps (with realism?) appear to be related to the extremely
high CPU usage.....good point. Hey, im just throwing ideas out here that
appear to make sense......Maybe im just seeing 'ghosts in the night'.

Kinda.  I allow voting and notice that the kids are quite partial to
voting realism on.  It's also occured to me that I can never quite tell if
it's on or not, because it seems to behave differently level to level, as
though realism shuts off or just fails on certain maps.  I wonder if
you're onto something.

dual P2 900, 1.5 MB SDRAM, 10K RPM scsi Seagate, Spearhead uses anywhere 
between 50%-99% of one of the CPUa at any given time, though never seems 
to hang or lag or really even jitter much.
