Throttling is controlling the power or speed by controlling the flow of fuel or resources. For a car, it's the gas peddle. For graphics cards, it's the frame rate. To throttle something is to intentionally control the speed to slow it down.

Throttling is reducing graphics rendering speed to a lower amount than your computer is capable of rendering. There are lots of reasons for this. One reason is it's difficult for the average person to tell any difference higher than 60 frames per second. Extra frames means that your computer is working harder so sometimes we slow down to let other programs run too. When you're Playing Solo, Start Server, or Start Player, you might have lots of Studios running and each one is sucking up a lot of CPU power. Studio detects if it's not the current program and throttles down to 15 frames per second to give the other Studios some extra processing time.

There is a bug with some combinations that cause the throttling to happen in other cases. If your frame rate is stuck low at like 15 FPS even though the program is the main program, please let me know. If your mouse and keyboard input are not reacting quickly and you've got a good machine at high frame rate, please let me know. Programs like FRAPS will sometimes cause some hitches in the mouse input.

I still need to take some time to add some settings to control how much throttling is done. It's just not been a very high priority.
