The frame rate is doing interesting things here. When I select 3d clouds, the frame rate drops from 28 to 15 at KSFO, but when I deselect the clouds the frame rate goes back only to 23, and when I reselect 3d clouds the frame rate goes to 7 and stays there, whatever I do. The 3d stratus looks horrid, sorry. I think the 2d solution is just fine for stratus, and for cirrus as well.
