Couldn't they just reduce the clock speed for the entire simulation if we did that? We wouldn't notice because everything would be equally slower, and they could use the extra cycles to give us the proper factors.
Whether they'd be willing to do that, though, could be the real test.
I'm also a firm believer in the free market, but unfortunately software (operating systems in particular) does not seem to follow that model. The most versatile, powerful, and reliable operating system has been available free of charge for nearly 20 years - but most users are fairly entrenched in the "mindshare" of the major OS makers.

Within this decade, if we send space priests. I coincidentally started reading that book today; quite good so far.

After about 6 minutes into this video is a discussion of fizzing and a view of diamagnetically levitated beer, for an earthbound simulation.
your eyes can deceive you, don't trust them. stretch out with your feellllings!
I'm sure the Vatican would like to limit negative portrayals of the Pope, regardless of the rationale given in TFA
