Particle Effect Optimisations in 2.4.0

Nice Job, Vincent. Nice to see the programmers whom are usually behind the scenes get the credit that they deserve.

Right in time for my new PC! I finally get to have shadows yay!

That is some nice performance boosts I hope we notice it in game. Since that was a situation specifically set up to demonstrate it on a single machine, i'm sure we wont notice it as much but anything makes a difference :)

Edit: CPU optimizations make a big difference to game play, I really hope over the next few years we hear less about deaths due to frames and more about deaths due to ignorance ^^.
