Also, I'd suggest waiting for DF to confirm this.

I find it odd other areas look virtually the same but they had to cut back on grass.

Agreed, i'm still not convinced this comparison is legit. That said, lowering the amount or quality of foliage/grass is a common method of freeing up resources. You'd be surprised how demanding grass can be :p Especially if the lighting engine reacts to said grass.


I learned white well how demanding foliage is.  A few years ago I tried playing Obilion on my $300 netbook (HD 6310 graphics) and I was only getting ~10-15 FPS.  I simply turned grass off and boom: 20-30 FPS.
