Heavy Stutters near enemy planes on ATAG

[phoenix1963]

I would have though a pretty modern 2 GB GPU card like my 6950 (flashed into a 6970) would cope well... as long as the textures are already loaded.
I wondered if the CloD texture manager had sacrificed 'plane textures for landscape in the recent patch and hotfix - and those of us with slowish processors feel it because the texture manager is using the CPU to load them?
But, to be honest, I know nothing about texture management.
