Do you have prior experience with other game engines? All my life I've wanted to make video games, so I've dabbled in quite a few game engines, but most things I tried to make as a kid didn't get finished. I started trying to make complete game projects in high school with Unity, but I became frustrated using it.

rendering may be slower for a second or two, but the slowdown will not be nearly as bad as the typical hiccup caused by classic synchronous compilation. This can lead to a problem, when the movement of objects (which tends to occur on physics ticks) does not line up with the rendered frames, giving unsightly jitter.
