It doesn't affect the speed of rendering. What it does is turn off the
attempt to render materials, so that

   box(color=color.orange, material=materials.wood)

displays simply as an orange box, with no wood grain. The connection
with my earlier suggestion to update the graphics driver is that
graphics cards and drivers that cannot handle these materials may
exhibit other problems as well.
