</div>I believe I've heard people say that they might sometimes want this<br>
for power management, i.e. performing the same computation on the GPU<br>
might take more power than performing it more slowly on the CPU. I<br>
imagine this would depend on the specific configuration and<br>
computations involved, though.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>That's a decision for either a user or a user agent, not an author. It should not be toggleable from HTML.</div><div><br></div><div>- James</div><div>
