I see the same on a hd5870, and the card is rather cold :)
But i see the fps drops too.
The short fps drops are rather annoying if you fly a helicopter over some
detailed scenery that gives you nice flyable 30 - 40 fps and then you get a
very short drop to lets say 15fps.

I noticed that after starting up fgfs with metar activated, the "normal
weather comes up".
Now if the "normal" weather shows rain and i then open the weather menu and
switch the advanced weather on with "OK" the weather is changing, but if
advanced weather shows now rain the the wet runways stay wet.
If i press the apply button instead the runways change from wet to dry
instantly. If i press OK after that all clouds get redrawn again.
How is this menu supposed to be operated :)
