0.9.9.1 around 30% slower with same exact settings as 0.9.8

RE: 0.9.9.1 around 30% slower with same exact settings as 0.9.8
There are new settings in v0.9.9.1. This will vary significantly depending on the game, though.

For example, if the game is blending in a way that we didn't properly support before, it now will (with default settings.) However, this comes at a cost to performance. You can check the "disable slower effects" setting and uncheck "simulate block transfer", which will return you to the same bad graphics as before.

That being said, on your hardware even with why-would-you-even-need-that-much 5x texture scaling, normally you should be fine with these new things.

I do know, from complaints by many people, we made texture scaling trigger for more textures. In v0.9.8, it would actually not scale a bunch of textures, and now it does scale them. If you weren't noticing that textures were not being scaled, you could probably live with 3x texture scaling instead of 5x, which will definitely be faster.

Remember, texture scaling is exponential. 5x requires 25 units of work whereas 3x requires only 9 units of work.
