On top of what Frostie has mentioned, stutters when players join/leave the server are much worse. On a busy server, the game is unplayable.
Edit:
Every time a player joins a slot... i.e. spawns in the world. The server frame rate drops by ~50% also there is a server time dilation, server time slows significantly for 3-5 seconds. On top of this, with Render3d set to False, staying on the Map screen lowers FPS, while switching to a random airfield boosts the FPS.
And even more... Having DCS window lose focus boosts the FPS. For example we have DCS World in Windowed mode and we are focused on it... FPS = ~16. We open an explorer window and focus on it... DCS FPS jumps to our cap of 32.

Aside:
I have to say Mustang, it is getting extremely annoying having patches released with absolutely pathetic changelogs. We have no idea what changed, and where. We all spend hours trying to keep this game playable, not only for ourselves but for the community at large, and yet every time there is a patch we have to spend countless hours tweaking settings AGAIN because we have no clue what changed where... or we have to compare file by file to see what changed. It is borderline insulting.
