@Xarthor: that completely depends on if your limited memory is slowing you down or the speed of your GPU is. it all depends on the weakest link and the requirements of your application(s).

@fogman:

it all looks fairly nice, but fairly dull without any realistic shading on the plants. they all look fairly dark. it's a dull day right now but out the window i still see at least very soft shadows (baked ambient-occlusion) and brighter colours on all the plant life (including the big palm-tree outside). there is also the reflection of the sky on everything. some feint grey-blue hemispherical lighting wouldn't go amiss, as most of the objects in shadow are still receiving a lot of light from the sky in real life.

the dullness may be related to the plant models themselves, but the shaders you use can change that a fair bit.

if you aren't a shader-programmer then i'll understand if you ignore all the above crits

the "performance" part of the performance pack sounds nice, but i can't make comments just on screenshots. i'm sure a lot of people will find this useful.
