As far as I have noticed, there is NO speed benefit to leaving the game running in the background. It doesn't speed anything up and because of the popup thing, it slows you down.

The only time I leave it open instead of closing it is if I want to get them to another task as soon as they are all done working on a project that will pop up the window. Then, I don't have to worry about them roaming about and not gathering food.

Has anyone noticed things getting done FASTER if it is running in the background?
