[PERFORMACE-TIP] for low frame rate in ruff seas

I have found the best way to boost frame rate while in ruff seas is to delete
SeaFoam01.dds - SeaFoam12.dds(all 12). They are located in your 'Misc' directory.
Make sure you back them up first.

This will essentially turn of the sea foam effect, which is a good thing. The sea
foam effect is not that good anyway.
BTW, the best attempt at mimicking the sea foam effect was in the flight sim
U.S. Navy Fighters by Janes. It was a master piece for that day but what made it
work was a loop-able sequence of a real ocean wave effect. Not series of images
of beach foam that we are dealing with here.

Please NOTE: This will not delete the (very beautify done) Ship's foam
