I've heard that the lower resolution ASV textures can INCREASE frame rate. Is this true, or a myth?

Yes, It's true.

I have a 128Mb X300 card and used to get about 20fps with the following settings:
- Clear skies
- Day time (night was much less because of all the lights in Ultimate Terrain Alaska/Canada)
- Ultimate Traffic 85% traffic
- Display settings (grounds) at Medium Low
- Display settings (weather) at Low
- Bilinear filtering

Since I got ASV and brought the textures back to 64x64 with MIPS enabled, I get 25fps:
- in rain, overcast clouds
- Night time with UT Terrain Alaska/Canada all enabled (lots of lights)
- 100% traffic in Ultimate Traffic
- Display settings (ground) High
- Weather on Medium high
- Trillinear filtering
