📄 Description

Improves launch performance for Team Fortress 2 on legacy OpenGL launch option and possibly other games.
Went from 100 seconds to launch the game and ~8% cpu usage during launch (~1 core on my machine?)
To 60 second and ~16% cpu usage (~2 cores)

It might be worth putting that whitelist into other profiles that in any way use OpenGL (e.g. allow-opengl-game.inc and lutris.profile)
