just of curiosity - does it give a big performance boost in most cases?
Screen resolution and lighting/shadow effects are the two biggest performance killers in almost all 3D renderers. Shaders can be a big one too.
AFAIK, shaders are the reason screen resolution matters so much. Pixel shaders, in particular. I haven't forgotten about your computer, Redeemer, for which I'll have some lower settings.

Of course The bootstrapper sets those as the default setting (if there isn't a config file to trump it), but I don't want to automatically start the game like that -- I like when games have a bootstrapper that allow me to play in windowed mode (depending on the kind of game), or at least choose my settings beforehand (most games seem to default to my secondary monitor's resolution, which is smaller).
