It's not hard on YOUR system.
Its not hard on anything compared to Doom 3 because of how its lit.
I still get 20fps on MP games, so you can't exactly say it runs great on everybody's machine.

It's good because lower end machines can play,

But the best part is it doesn't really matter how many fps you get. So I don't see it as cheating + by disabling shadows it sort of criples the user.

picmip and reducing graphic options was never about fps increases (well, in the beginning it was, but not recently). It's more about being able to see better and have sharper lines. Most people can get 125fps in Quake3 now on full detail, but picmip is still widely used by competitive players.

Less hair product, less attention to shoes and matching outfits, eye more toward sports, no lisp... you get the idea.

But, aren't many of these settings locked unless they are set to the same values on the server config?
