New hrothgar hairstyles are really bad.

It seems like it was a very vague test. And again, it is an example how a typical policy looks like in software development. There can be other policies like maximum texture size, maximum texture resolution, size of a map etc. Or maximum duration of a database query, maxmimum response time when X users are connected etc.

Heh, thanks for linking. As said, it just were some quick and simple tests by people with lingering in crowded places, and use a mod to turn all player races into one race of choice only. For a full proof, there are far more samples with several configurations needed, if the effect can be replicated anytime.

OK.

But it is so, that raw polygon counts do not necessarily correlate with frames per second. Because the game engines and the GPUs and the GPU drivers have also some optimization mechanisms to exclude non-visible parts of a scene from computation. And it can be, that those mechanisms work better with many Hrothgars than with many Bunnies. The result is, you get slightly more FPS with Hrothgars.
