Ergo, if application doesn't care about upper/lower word cases it won't spend any extra time for capitalization checks, right?
Wrong. A program has to be programmed not to care about captials. But 'double'. that I doubt. (could be less, maybe more) If the program didn't care about capitals it would likely just covert everything to lower case when reading key values. It certainly would take some processor time though. (although in the era of 2Ghz + processors, who cares)
Now, how about that Star Trek Mod
