Mixed up things, now stuttering...

The ‘Visual Effects’ setting controls the detail of the explosions, and (in previous versions) reducing this results in a fair gain in frame rates. I haven’t tested the difference since the graphics engine re-write, but think that the gain now should reasonably be less. What you are seeing is not abnormal though.
