Performance issue full screen for India biome

[Langbart]

Issue

When playing a random map with the default settings applied in full screen everything felt very slow, like walking through mud. Performance was better in window mode.

to reproduce

• start the following map with the default settings and full screen

• Notice the extreme performance drop between full screen and window mode.
• See video below for more clarity. Watch the women walking to the meeting point. Everything is smooth in window mode, but slow in full screen mode.

observations

• After reducing the materialmgr.quality value from 10 to 1 the performance is much better less bad.

bisect

I am very confident that the change set [26859] is the cause of the problem.
Just to be clear, I also tested [26858], but the performance problem could not be observed in this big change set, it must be [26859].

reproducible

• The same map on A25 with the same game settings works normally, the problem must have been introduced after [25860].
• Even after increasing materialmgr.quality from 2 to 10 the performance was still better in A25 compared to the latest GIT version [27009]. This means that changing the default values with [26976] cannot be the sole reason, but that another change set must also have contributed to the issue.

How does the performance change if slowly resize the window to the fullscreen size without enabling fullscreen?

adding bisect number [26859].
