Trying to fix the distance at which your eyes will converge and accomodate
is unlikely to work. What distance would you fix it at? 60cm? 6metres?
Chances are you'd try and "focus" on different distances depending on
the task you are trying to perform.

If you're going to spend all that extra CPU on blurring objects, why
not use it to make them more realistic/go faster?
