You did not show all of your settings. Try using the old clouds....much faster than the new clouds.....and better looking, in my opinion. (TypeClouds=0)

Oh man, I just realized where we are.....a modding site. If you are using mods, it's already dropping your frame rate at least 40% lower than a non-modded version. If you are using a cloud mod, it will drop even more. If that's the case, I suggest you upgrade your computer. Mods may be free, but you will pay in other areas...
