The main reason one would want to run multiple games in slow mode is if you're not on Chrome, and therefore running lots of computation in JavaScript without returning control makes the whole browser sad.

We could avoid a lot of unnecessary DOM updates while still giving the diagnostic output of slow mode: update the score tracker less often, update the grapher less often, and stop logging games after the first 10.

At that point, clicking "Fast Mode" means you're okay with intense JavaScript operations that don't return control very often. The label would be "Fast Mode (makes some browsers sluggish)".
