50: AutumnLeaves runs every 50 milliseconds by
default (that is 20 times per second). If you make the number smaller
the leaves will fall smoother, but it will use more CPU time.
If you make the number larger the leaves will fall jerkier, but use less
CPU.
30: The third number is the minimum period in seconds between winds. Make
the number larger and the wind will blow less often, make it smaller and
wind will blow more often. This setting does not affect CPU usage.
100: This number tells how fast the wind grows in force. A bigger number makes
the wind grow slower.
6: This is the time in seconds the wind actually blows, before slowing down again.
100: This number tells how quick the wind slows down. A bigger number makes
the wind slow down slower.
4: This is the time in seconds it takes to stop the wind from full blast to zero.
40: The maximum force of the wind.
