It’s a new speedrunning world record — made with Kaspersky Internet Security working in the background.

What is speedrunning (and why is performance important for it)?People who have beaten a single-player game at its highest difficulty level sometimes move on to speed runs, competing to finish the entire game — from the very beginning to the very end — faster than anyone else.

Speedrunners in action can be a ton of fun to watch. Some seek out glitches in the game to minimize their time, while others prefer sticking to the rules, still managing to finish games faster than an average player can complete just the first level. For example, Doom Eternal typically takes about 20 hours to play, but Xiae finished it in a little more than one hour.

Speedrunning involves several fundamentals. Most important is knowledge of the game, which requires spending enough time playing to learn every location and the right behavior in each. Managing stress is quite important as well, as are catlike reflexes and good concentration.

Computer performance is also critical. In speedrunning, every tenth of a second counts. If a player’s gaming rig is underperforming, it doesn’t matter whether the power-hungry entity is malware or antimalware — resource-gobbling limits the speedrunning tricks and precision necessary to get through a game quickly.

Lower gaming performance results in the player making small mistakes here or there, as well as spending additional milliseconds on tasks throughout the game — and the extra time adds up.
