"BackgroundPostScriptRendering"
• "BackgroundPostScriptRendering" is an option for notebooks that determines if graphics are rendered during idle time, even if they are not currently visible on screen.
• With the default setting "BackgroundPostScriptRendering"
False, graphics are rendered only when they first appear on the screen.
• With the setting "BackgroundPostScriptRendering"
True, all un-rendered graphics present in a notebook are rendered when the notebook is opened, regardless of if the graphic is currently displayed on the screen. Rendering occurs concurrently with other activities and generally does not interfere with normal use of the front end. However, it consumes processor resources and may slow down kernel evaluations and other background operations.
