To my mind, the issue is not if the scenery is efficiently done or not, but that it is handled different by present-dat GIT and by 2.0.0 (or older GIT), and that the newer versions become slower even with graphics goodies like urban shader are switched off. I *suspect* this may be related with the performance differences I see between local weather running with 2.0.0 or GIT - both Paris and local weather having to do with a large number of (non-random) models being present in the scenery. Doesn't help much in terms of a solution though...
