Tribble vs. Holodeck

This isn't necessarily a lag post or even a complaint, but more of a question. I don't mess around on Tribble very often, but I spent many hours on there before Season 4 came out. One thing I noticed was that I was able to amp up my graphics settings with no major drop in my framrate. I figured there had been some backend tweaks that allowed for higher settings with lower negative effects, so I was quite excited.

Flash forward to the release of Season 4 on Holodeck and I put my settings exactly as they are on Tribble and my framerate dropped into the single digits on ground maps and was in the teens in space. I hopped back onto Tribble and double checked everything, went into other maps, etc...same results.

Call me stupid or whatever, but I can't figure out why the server running beta code would run better than the release server. Any ideas on how I can get my souped up graphics on Holodeck?

    I could be wrong, and hope I'm corrected if I am. But I believe the largest part of the difference is the population. The amount of people taxing the Holodeck servers is way above those using the Tribble ones.
