Do DW run in background thinking about his future moves when the player put the game in pause?

It does run in background but not during the pause

So it dont compute anything

On my laptop it ran at 50% CPU in pause just trying to keep everything loaded

POOR Laptop

Status: offline 		I'm not 100% but I think DW is also capable of multithreading
