I think you might be very right there. I used to think that my Radeon 7200 was getting hit by polygon count with complex airports and the recent 3d airport furniture, but it turns out that it's lights that kill it - get a vasi or papi in view and the framerate plummets from the twenties into single figures, whereas even complex airports with no glideslope lighting have neglible effect. I suspect it's the beacon lights rather than poly count that kill it as well. My Geforce3 ti200 by contrast is completely unaffected by the lights.
