Any particular reason why 1024 x 768 is the default screen resolution?

Chances are it's not the resolution that's killing you, it's the refresh rate. Likely what you're seeing is that because either your video card or monitor suck, when you boost up to 1024x768, your refresh rate is getting kicked down to 60Hz instead of something better, like 85Hz. Running it on 60Hz when you're used to higher is so hard on the eyes.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Especially when you consider that running a game in windowed mode take more processing power than running it in full-screen. WHY this is, I have no clue.
Simple. Because Windows is using processing power to show other stuff, not just your game.
