OK, I ground through doing an objective test, and I have to say I'm impressed. I couldn't find the black death track, so I did a quick BOB mission with full flights and clouds, did a 5 sec wait before triggering the count to let everything load up. I ran each test a couple times and averaged the results. I have an ATI x1600 512meg card, and a 2.0 Core duo processor, with 2 gig ram. I have it set to perfect in game, and all settings pretty well maxxed at 1680x1050, and AA2x in the ATI control panel. I'm running the card overclocked at 513/504. I also have flushys clounds, and TypeClouds=1

My originall settings in conf.ini were
TexCompress=0
TexFlags.TexCompressARBExt=1

I added the texcompress2 version of the mod and changed settings to:
TexCompress=2
TexFlags.TexCompressARBExt=1

Drum roll.... ok in this instance, with this mission (not a track, but a mission with autopilot on), on this hardware, I picked up 11fps average! Pretty darn good! THANKS FOR THE TIPS! Now, off to try some other setting changes and see what happens

Postscript
I tried processaffinitymask off and =2, and there was no difference whatsoever.
