Default Frame Rate Detector

Should add a "low framerate detector" to future skill games?

i.e. if the game is running too slowly the players score won't be submitted and they'll get an error message to say why.

As far as I can see the pros and cons are:

Pros:
It would help to level the playing field so that people can't do better at games by making them run slower or having a very slow computer.

Cons:
Some innocent people with slow computers might not be able to submit their score.

Any thoughts?

add it but modify it so it scans ur comp for game-slowing macros. if the computer is normally slow (like mine and many others) then just increase the rate at which the field speeds up
