For quite some time now I've been wanting to have all the optimisation values 
from the optimisation slider available as a checkbox array on the advanced page 
for more targetted tweaks.

This bug looks like a good excuse to push for that.

BTW, vsync is disabled on windows since we often had issues with buggy drivers 
on that platform causing SDL to think it didn't have the capability to enable 
it.  When we enabled it we got a ton of users falling back to the slow software 
renderer.  

You can still force it on ofc as with any app.

To enable vsync safely under windows we should fallback to no vsync if enabling 
vsync causes us to drop to software rendering probably.
Although I guess we could just leave it off by default in the frontend, and if 
it screws things up, well, that's on the user.
