You think we'll ever be able to do a tap pass?

I guess the question is, could we ever at some point get a sampling rate higher than 60fps? I'm sure several of the platforms (especially the PC) have the CPU power to run at twice, or maybe even triple that. On the PC, it could be an adjustable setting based upon a system benchmark that determines if the hardware is capable. Maybe implement it sort of like frameskip in MAME if the system gets bogged down and can't maintain the high rate, to keep people from trying to run at the high settings with an underpowered PC with the intent of slowing everything down.

The difficulty is that would also affect the physics engine and the way the ball moves around the table. In subtle ways, but significant enough to make difficulty of tables easier or harder, which is something we don't want for the leaderboards.

I might be wrong, but I think that's how it would go.
