MegaByte says that the computer would not be able to handle falling that many places behind because of a shell hitting them, etc., hence they speed up like that... or, he says, because of lazy prgrammers.
Well, that is the basic *summary* of what MegaByte said, not his exact words.
"Eat, eat, and eat! I do one sit-up a day. I get up in the morning; that''s half. I lay down at night; that''s the other half. I figured out a long time ago that my body was just for carrying my head from place to place." ~Mark Lowry
