monkeydelarge: Steam makes some games run like garbage if you don't have a powerful machine. I don't know why.
Perhaps related to the Steam API? Consider how often it pings the client, and then pings the online service to update that 'Yep i'm playing Shadow Warrior.... I'm still playing Shadow Warrior.... Nope no new messages... Got an achievement for beheading the vampire with a razor comb. Got achievement for standing still for 20 minutes... Got achievement for dying due to hunger... Sending random statistics to steam again...' (I don't know if there's any such achievements, but you get the idea).
Actually restarting the game i've lowered several resolution/graphics options merely because i wanted to and it still looked awesome on medium (with tweaks).
