Why? What's the benefit of having more than 30 fps? If someone thinks
more than 30 are better doesn't he just confuse controller latency
with frame latency? If you check the controller input only once per
frame, he will, of course, notice a difference when he hammers the
fire button like mad. But throwing more than 30 frames to the
screen itself doesn't seem to be sensible IMHO.
