I noticed that you can speedup the in game speed by changing some of the Display options. I am wondering if changing these setting should be allowed OR if it should be stipulated that the game must be played in the default settings. The options menu is fairly clunky in its design such that it doesnt show the current setting only what you change the settings to after you select it.

The changes indicated in the BERAS.TXT file that matter are LIFEBAR set to OPAQUE (this actually might be better on for some reason but it didnt seem to matter on much), DISPLAY set to NORMAL DISPLAY, and SOUNDSCOPE set to OFF.

Seems like it is about a 9 second difference on the clock during the temporus rounds. Here is an any% run i did with these settings for an example.

Just some food for thought.
