I am not a beta-tester, so this info is second hand, but someone told me
that the glow function (he discribed it being used to make windows look like
there was actually light coming from within, and of course the ST: Voider
warp-engine glow) took a lot of time. I beleive he was running it on an
A4000 with warp board. Perhaps they wanted to work on it some more,
after-all LW's main rival 3DS has a glow-plug in, and it would look bad if
3DS's was a whole lot faster, though it seems to be consensis that generally
LW's final images look somehow better- at least DVideo magazine thinks so
