Buildings with new shadows (dev build 3) cause poor performance

Description

Constant fps of 30-40 except when near buildings fps drops to 15-20 with heavy stutters.

All camps and civilian houses cause this. The problem started since the latest dev patch, I suspect the new shadows the culprit(but they do look good).

The problem is worst in the town with sunlight conditions, not so much in overcast light (due to no shadows presumably).

Operating System: MS Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1
