Light Flares in Q3Test -- 12:17 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

After I dusted my system, I ran some Q3Test timedemos to see if the complete reinstall helped any. To my amazement, I gained between 2-3 FPS (a 4% speed-up)! I didn't think that was right, so I double-checked my settings. To my amazement, the difference was light flares! Having them disabled gave me that much of a speed increase, an even greater increase than switching to vertex lighting from lightmaps! Do some timedemos and check for yourself.
