You saw everything in the periscope that you seen toggled to full screen. It was the same image but larger. IIRC that is why periscope view existed in the first place. Despite it being the same image it wasn't so intensive on your computer, the stone UI didn't move around on screen.

Exactly. traditional graphics pipeline first calculates the world in "world space" and then translates it to "screen space" where many operations are done by pixel. Less pixels, less calculation. The stone UI would be over 2x faster than full screen UI, which was a big deal for in-era hardware.
