graphics simple mode

an option where all the fancy graphics can be taken away to save on the processor

other "simplify" options could be useful also

Agreed; So far, running Audion 2.0, I have only noticed minimal improvements (I'm not a software engineer, or even a professional audio engineer, so there may be major improvements I simply haven't noticed), but one major non-improvement (decline?) would be the graphics interface.  It's extremely gaudy and unwieldy.  I would definitely like the option to do a graphics simple more, or at least a template/theme change that matched older versions (1.5 was nice).

totally agree with you, but why don't u try Nvidia geforce except of switching graphics to simple mode. Nvidia Geforce provide a variety of graphics card they individually have GPU to process graphics so the process don't need to process the video. Nvidia geforce GPU process all display process its dynamically increase PC performance.
