The logic behind this is that at higher populations, byond ends up needing to do more at the end of the tick to update clients, that the mc and traditional sleep timers end up fighting for a very small amount of time left.
Increasing the MC's sleep time means its wakes up sooner in the tick. So it has more time to do things, even if they don't happen as often, and leaving every other tick free allows for sleeping CHECK_TICK task to wake up without finding the MC left them very little time to do things.
Admins have been regularly manually doing this by varediting the processing variable to 2, that i figured we should automate it.
for /tg/, i plan on raising the player count a bit, but they make decent defaults for the avg server.

A dead-simple traitor variant.
It's like traitor, except instead of an uplink you get a buddy: your blood brother. You must team up with your brother to complete your objectives. It runs along side regular traitor mode, thus the name "traitorbro".

Goonchat will use the asset cache, you now have to specify who to send the icons too.
Goonchat will now load icons in the background, displaying them once they load. this prevents the message from being delayed while the icons are sent.
Icons that aren't preloaded using the asset cache system will not render on ie8 clients. This is because of a ie8 bug that prevents changes on runtime created images from rendering.
Firstly, if guests are enabled as allowed on the server, you usually
would want them to speak in ooc like a normal user, so this config
doesn't make much sense in my opinion
The reordering is just to skip some parsing we are doing if the message
can never be sent in the first place, so we avoid a little overhead
Scale()s the icon when range is below 16, if it's above 16, scales the icon to 16 and transforms the rest of the way.
This replaces the other method of creating one click catcher image per tile in the range of the users view, which was pretty memory hungry and inefficient. A single icon operation while the view range changes should still be pretty performant and require less memory bookkeeping.l
This ensures it works when the users view range changes, but does not result in a loss of precision for view ranges up to 16 when moving the mouse (it triggers per pixel which simply get larger when transformed)
fixes#29342
Click catcher now supports mousemove/mousedrag. Basically, mouse location can now be captured even if the user isn't mousing over a visible location
Added procs to allow for projectiles to be fired with just an angle for pixel projectiles, instead of requiring a target turf and pixel x/y
Added procs to get angle of user's mouse from their viewpoint (Time to rework gang machine guns again!)
Beam rifles now have different zoom modes
Free directional zooms out and tracks the angle of your mouse from the center of the screen. However, you can't target with very good accuracy on this (Shots can't be properly aimed on non dense objects/lying down mobs.)
Locked directional zooms like free directional but doesn't automatically turn if your aim changes.
Center view, just increases your view in all directions (2x weaker)
No zoom mode, in which you just retain your normal view.
You can select beam rifle zooming rates to be instant or stepped.
Stepped zooming rates zoom out 5 tiles per second. This will likely help with people not being able to use it without lagging because their computers aren't as beefy!
Beam rifles no longer require zoom to be fired
Beam rifle aiming beams now instantly update instead of on process
Beam rifle aiming beams are now one object instead of 150. This'll help with the lag caused by it during gameplay that I've observed.
Angular penalty reduced by 0.1 for a nice even number.
Instances of client.view = have been replaced with client.change_view() as that'll properly update the click catcher
Hopefully shooting yourself in the face when you hit a blob tile or whatnot is fixed with the new and improved code..

* Requested changes.
Engineering tablets no longer have preinstalled programs.
Supermatter status percents are defines
* Minor thing
* Temp fix for output control issue messing up goonchat
I'll need to do some more testing on this, but this should likely be a test mergeable fix. I might not be back at my home computer until sunday night/monday.
* Fix quote
