One of my point was : "Why do i have insane packet loss when i run in debug ?"
Is it because of the high cpu load ?

One of my guess (still don't understand how/when idle is called) is that :
- high cpu load -> increase packet loss
- packet loss -> increase packet loss

evil loop -_-

I'll take a look but i have no idea about how a particle engine is
supposed to work. (time to learn, heh :p )
(and yes, i'm one of the people who use some weird property of the
particle engine)
