This is considering I'm well above the system requirements.
A non game example is the Cooliris app for Google, when I run on a regular chrome window is choppy when scrolling through the panels, but when I hit f11 for full resolution it runs much faster.
Also, when hitting F11 in chrome, you aren't increasing the resolution of the running program. You are just giving it exclusive access to the full screen. Like he said, it likely means less rendering and processor time for background apps and the desktop to take up. – Ben Richards – 2011-06-02T04:37:20.077
