[0.9.0] Severe Lag with trees present

Hi

i am running factorio on a laptop (which already say a lot) its not the best around but it worked fine before even having a 11h game with several machines + clouds on + pollution visible. i know it would drop to 30 fps when completely zoomed out in 0.8.x

on a closer inspection i realized that each individual tree has a certain "shadow" which needs to be processed. could it be possible to have an option to disable this?

otherwise i can only play on "sahara desert" terrains. (which seems to be less populated with resources)

Thanks for the game :)

Edit: found a nifty solution on the options -> low FPS :) fixes everything for me, not sure why i had such major difference from 0.8 to 0.9 (then again i am on laptop :oops: )

Hello, shadows of trees are part of the same picture, so there should be no extra load.
The reason probably is, that there are just more images on the screen and your card has problems rendering it, I hope the low fps helped.
Moving this to not a bug.
