Just curious... Do you guys use or even know about "Fast Playback"? And why
is the default frame size a puny 250KB?! Legacy?

At the Wireframe/Shaded/etc. menu of a viewport, you can turn it on in one
of the first options, however it's really weird until you crank the size
allowed per frame to a few megs, in the viewport's Display Options under
the Performance tab under "Fast Playback", "Cache Size (KB/frame)". Crank
it up, for example type in "1024*6" for 6 megs. Now play your sequence.

It will be slow as it caches, but then when you play it back it's
absolutely instant, until something changes in your scene or you turn it
off... but the coolest part is it's not a 2D capture, it's in fact a kind
of in-memory pointcache, so you can still orbit around your scene! at crazy
speeds! (That is, if the frame size was enough to store all of it, else
you'll get random sections.)
