I was annoyed by the fact that the simple act of just enabling
"Material shaders" in the "Rendering options" has a noticeable effect
on the rendering performance without _any_ of the other features in the
entire dialogue box enabled.
Thus, if you really want just to see random trees placed into the
scenery, you're obviously required to buy a bunch of other, unrelated
features which (even without !! the trees) typically cost you between
10 and 30 percent of your frame rate, depending on where you're flying.
That's really absurd, why does FG provide a couple of checkboxes to
disable individual shader features, when a significant amount of the
shader stuff can't be disabled at all !?

Cheers,
