Planeshift generally fluent on Sandybridge

Hi!

Planeshift is generally fluent on Sandybridge in 1680x1050. As the patch description says what is really slow is casting a spell. For more details see:

Bug 59086 - Slow spell effects with Planeshift on Intel Sandybridge HD 3000 graphics

Thanks,
Martin
