Another Performance Update

[p]Hey all,[/p][p][/p][p]In my quest to make Beef Cat Ultra run better in the Endless stages on lower powered laptops I have conjured up another performance patch. This one is another great step towards even the largest and most chaotic stages remaining smooth on even the lowest end of devices.[/p][p]The new Shadows toggle in the settings menu will turn off the game-wide drop shadow effect. This is a demanding visual effect and turning it off results in a large spike in fps. Testing on my own PC which does not have performance issues ever saw Endless stages double in frame rate from approximately 1000fps to 2000fps. On a lower end non-gaming laptop with a 2.2ghz processor, this meant a laggy experience in the massive endless stages is now flawlessly buttery.[/p][p]On a lower end device that struggles to run Endless stages, this toggle alone should ideally translate into almost double the frame rate at the expense of losing drop shadows.[/p][p]Other general code clean up and map clean up was done to further help those stages run the best they can.[/p][h2]v2.2[/h2]
