Battlefield illumination

This is rather a question than a real bug:

If, in night time battles, I use the illumination support, the game speed drops significantly to almost slomo speed as long as the glowing of the illu stays visible. As soon as it is gone, speed is back to normal.

I have to admit that I run TLD on a rather low end system, an Atom-based netbook. But it runs all other parts of CC including WaR with absolutely no slowdowns. So I suppose the illumination is rather performance consuming?

I really like the feature of illumination but it is somehow annoying for me. Perhaps you find the time to take a look into this?

Many thanks in advance, also for making this great remake.

hmmm... the Atom processor is a bit anaemic.

rendering the illumination does need a few resources.

my lowest spec PC runs the flares fineĀ  2.8ghz P4

Will check on another machine. The netbook is great for mobile CC gaming, nevertheless [:)] Thanks so far.
