In stock or withouth the mod if your game ever froze for a second when you were on a concept intercept path, but you cant see the ships thats a sign they were just rendered so your useing the same amount of CPU power.
Not true. The CPU load is definitely higher on 16km. You can test this quite easily by using an internal view (while submerged if you like, just for good measure). You'll notice much higher CPU usage with 16km installed even though your PC isn't rendering any ships at all.
