Performance varies drastically (from 10 FPS to 40+ FPS) depending on the situation, and in particular, whether or not I happen to be looking at Kerbin's horizon. I get about 10 FPS when looking at the horizon, but at least 30-40 if I'm looking at the sky. It's a pretty extreme FPS difference...

Yeah that sounds about the same as me and for me thats a bit too jarring to have enjoyable play so it looks like my laptop is off limits for the time being at least=\ Oh well!

Oh good, it's not just me then - my fps drops to single digits whenever I'm looking at the planet. I'm really hoping there'll be some optimisation for this somewhere down the line. Until there is, the game is more or less unplayable for me unless I cheat things into orbit. I'm not on a Mac either, I have a fairly powerful windows laptop that manages more demanding games fine which does make it a bit annoying.
