Limit to 60 FPS??

I dont understand this option for the screen at all..........why is it important to limit the saver to 60 FPS?

It stabilizes the animation on some systems.

Also, if I'm not mistaken, the way the screensaver is coded - certain events take place after XX frames have passed. For example, the lionfish fins - a blazing 150 fps will make the fins seem more rigid, while limiting to the 'recommended' 60 fps will allow you to see more flexability in thier movement.

...did I explain that correctly?
