How does that name work. Obviously it is a lesser form of Usually On but by default materialization is free and with Usually On it is 1 FP/second. Is this just a case of a name is just a name?

Pretty much. I think it was Kromm who suggested it after I came up with it. We had to call it something. . . .

Oh, I understand. Just had a moment of confusion with the Usually On being worse than "Difficult Materialization". Thanks for the info! :)
