man that effect (I believe they are nearly the same) is torture on GPU's.

Is there anything in the pipeline to reduce the hit they cause to the GPU?

Zooming out is a "solution" but not really ideal.

How old is your video card? I have a Radeon 5770 (Three years old, so pretty much end of life cycle) and it doesn't even flinch when i have both on screen.

im running multiple clients, so that I realize is an abnormal situation but its quite apparent that POS Shields / bubbles cause massive GPU spikes

Gas clouds make my gpu cry when i run 8-10 clients.
Pos FF was never an issue though.

Odd...
