Fix for Starcraft 2 Alt-Tabbing / Menus Chugging & Overheating Hardware

Anyone else frustrated that it takes 1+ minutes on your Uber-fast rig, just to Alt-Tab back into Starcraft II? I stumbled upon a fix posted on GameInformer that helped me. Apparently there is a bug in the interface right now which doesn't limit the framerate of menus (ala-the pause menu or the single player ship interface) which causes it to grind resources.

Here's the fix:
Exit out of Starcraft II (or the changes get reverted).
Add the following lines to your "Documents\StarCraft II\variables.txt" file (I added mine at the bottom of the text document, as these variables aren't in there by default):

frameratecapglue=30
frameratecap=60

For windows 7 the folder (for you n00bs) is:
C:\Users\YOURUSERNAMEHERE\Documents\StarCraft II\Variables.txt
