I tried --disable-enhanced-lighting.  No significant
difference.  Interestingly, at night the FPS is only
6-8.  Around 10 FPS average will have to do, as I'm
running FG on the laptop given to me for work.  If I
ever decide to buy a desktop, I'll consider a
top-notch video card/graphics setup.

And like you and Jon pointed out, maybe the s3tc patch
will help.
