Frames per second in map view.

[RTS321]

I found something rather interesting whilst playing today: the framerate in map view is related to the proximity of a body (such as Kerbin). Specifically, there seemed to be a threshold below which (i.e. zoomed in) I recieved 14/15 fps in map view, and suddenly after moving beyond this boundary it bounced up to the significantly better 22 fps. This made no sense, until I saw that whilst zoomed relatively far in Kerbin obstructs the visibility of orbit drawings, so you couldn't see any lines directly behind Kerbin, however, after zooming out a certain distance, the section of the orbits that went behind Kerbin become visible, accompanied with a sudden fps jump.

I would like to no if anyone else has experienced this (if not I'll put it down to mods misbehaving ). It would be interesting to see if any settings.cfg files can be modified to remove the obstruction completely, thus permanently increasing the fps in map view.
