water reflections have a really huge impact on performance no matter how low I set the reflectionresolution. I think this would help a lot of ppl speed up their games, so I am asking you kindly to improve this in the near future.

The main reason that water reflections have high performance impact is that they are geometry based (objets are rendered twice), not screen space. But screen space reflections have problem with them dissapearing when the geometry isn't rendered. Geometry based don't have such problem. If you want to improve performance with them, you can lower Water in TAB TAB menu. This will skip smaller objects. Also you can lower reflectionrendersize= to lower value in setup.ini at the cost of blurrier reflections.
