Description
at minimum, it could turn off rendering of the canvas.
ideally, it would stop generating view updates internally, since that's expensive. turning the checkbox back on would generate a full, from-scratch world update
the checkbox is desirable for end users to have, but it would also be desirable for us, since we could see how much things speed up, and see what kind of engine speed we are getting in-browser. (Rhino is a dog, so the speed numbers we get on the JVM aren't much use.)

Research direction
Start by locating the checkbox UI, canvas rendering, and internal view-update generation in the CoffeeScript application. Determine how updates can be paused and how re-enabling them triggers a full world update. Done means the checkbox controls both visible rendering and, where possible, the expensive internal updates.
