The current GIT local weather cloud generation goes through the same code path as the "global" clouds, and so will use render-bin 9. I suspect those effect file are used for some fo the more complex clouds that have not been moved across for various (good) reasons. The use of a separate render-bin was for performance reasons (in particular we handle ordering of sprites within the cloud system itself). On my system, changing to render bin 10 halved frame rates. > Unfortunately, we are only scratching around the edges for improved > performance using the existing technique, and really we need to try > something a bit more radical.
