    in the same way that playing minecraft for two hours is “more taxing” than playing for one, sure

      Two games was actually the example I had in mind, with them both demanding resources but the other being much more taxing on the system, yeah

        well that’s not what’s going on. there’s a reason i explained it the way i did.

          It uses less system resources vs you use it for less time, the result is the same? I don’t see the difference myself

            both scenarios use the same amount of resources but one uses them for longer. that’s not “more taxing”.

              You are saying it uses the same amount of computing power, but the time is different? I guess I was more concerned about resource use. If you drive your car 100 or 200 km, it might use the same amount of fuel per km but you end up using more fuel on the longer drive
