You can do that in SC already?

All I am saying is that if you're optimizing the game for dial-up
performance you're taking something away from everyone who's not
limited to dial-up, due to the Peer-to-peer architecture of SC
multiplayer (as opposed to a client-server one like in Quake and
virtually every other FPS). 

And unlike in 1998, that would be the vast, vast majority of the
player base - So it'd be a retarded decision to make.
