Idle Skipping
What is an "Idle" situation that the "Enable Idle Skipping" option skips? Is it like a loop constantly checking for something else to happen first before it progresses with its task or is it literally the component sleeping until another component commands it to wake up and do something? There's no real reason behind these questions, I'm just curious.
The first 2 sentences of the 2nd paragraph indicate that the following information will describe what happens when "Enable Idle Skipping" is disabled, yet the rest of the paragraph seems to describe what happens while that option is ENABLED. So there is no explanation of the performance increasing phenomena that people mention when disabling the option!
Also, now that "SyncOnIdleSkip" is enabled by default for everything, shouldn't the INI variable name be changed to "DoNotSyncOnIdleSkip" to better reflect the reason for the option to exist in a configurable format? Yes, this is being pedantic.
