I wouldn't put too much value on some random guy's post on a modding forum. It's the same as divining the future of mankind from a toilet.

Agree about flickering, I have observed that effect.

As for the rest...
I'd like to make several experiments online to verify Storebror's conclusions but he is not "some random guy" in this business.
