It has something to do with the way the images are rendered. Some think that turning it off makes loading faster. Personally, I think it's a load of hogwash.
I played a foursome last week, one player advised me to do several things in the game setup options, doing so seemed to slightly improve loading times, and smoothed my meter somewhat. May not affect all but worked for me, since then I've left those changes and feel it did improve the game playability.
