so are we basing this all on OPs word? Other posters have said they have had bg dl going, with no noticable change. Seems as ussual people like to blow things out of proportion, that may not be accurate or even true
Also, if OP is right, he says he is super sensitive to these things. So far he is the only 1 to actually percieve a very subtle performance hit. If most, if not all dont, then what is the big deal?
Has anyone ventured to see what the actual wording is OP mentions about pausing the dl to improve performance? I am out of town currently and cant check.
