palito uses 10 frames/sec now.

but some things may be calculated with less frequency.

for ex: position / velocity / aceleration must be calculated each frame,
but visibility / path finding / behaviour decisions may be calculated
with low frequency, say once or twice a second.


that on the server.
the client have a higher FPS (user-adjustable), and interpolate the
position of the units to make a smooth movement, overwriting the
position/velocity/other data when it receive an update package from
the server.
but that part of the code is still very imature yet.
