I would just like to clarify that I'm perfectly content with the drop in fps that I'm seeing - I think it's entirely commensurate with the improvement in visual appearance. In my local area (near EGPE, so not terribly built-up) I usually get just over 30 fps with 3d clouds, trees etc and the Buccaneer; it drops to a still usable 20-something with the latest shader effects in action (there's a good bit of sea around here of course...) I consider that quite acceptable, given that my graphics card is not exactly powerful by current standards (Nvidia 7300GS) Although high performance on lesser hardware is nice, I think it's reasonable enough to demand powerful hardware for the nicest eye candy.
