Yes, and both do kill fps. I also think that sprite size contributes a lot more. Ever since I reduced my sprite sizes to 32x32, I can fly the freecam through the smoke with no problems. With 128x128, I would be watching a slideshow if I did that...

But they both have a pretty big contribution to fps.

Good idea... I will mess around with this.


Man, I'm getting pretty jazzed up about this!
