I don't suffer from the problem (perhaps I've never seen a concentrated effect) but it might let more people into the game.

I may be wrong, but I thought I remember the particle effect for FB/IL2 being a problem when it was first implimented back in 2004ish. Either the release of the patch or the release of the effect was delayed because of issues. I do remember folks ooooohing and ahhhhing when the video of take off dust trailing behind planes was shown.
