We’ve thought about doing this too, but ultimately decided against it, because of the fact that the `draw()` still runs every frame. We want absolutely nothing happening at all when the sketch is not being interacted with and a loop running 60 times a second is not nothing at all.  
Maybe we could set the `frameRate` to 60 is the mouse is inside the sketch and to a really low number if it’s not, but that also kind of defeats the purpose.
