Tileset override performance

Hey everyone, I'm considering downloading all of the tileset and music overrides from the download page, as the screenshots look REALLY good. Before I do that though, I was hoping to find out if they have any kind of negative performance impact. I'll be playing primarily on an Atom-based netbook, so I don't have much room for hits in performance. Even though I haven't gotten any increase from doing it, I've minimized all of my graphical options both in-game and in the .ini files to avoid further dips in framerate. I've also looked into the "ndubya" config that seems to get a lot of praise on netbook discussions, but it really only handles things that I've already covered.

Anyone have any research based on recorded framerates they can offer up?

If there are any other overrides people know of that will help for a netbook, I'd be interested in hearing about those as well. Currently I don't have any overrides in place, I've just tweaked the configs. I've got a beefy desktop system, but I've also got 2 kids that are still young enough to need consistent supervision. It doesn't get much use these days :*(

Thanks!

I ran the new tile-sets on my old (crappy) laptop, I did not notice a change in frame rate performance when I switched over. I also doubt that the Music change will effect it any way.

The tile-set overrides don't seem to slow my game down either, however, I never checked the frames per second ratio.
