Can I just ask WHY 16 bit mode was removed from WWConfig with the new d3d8.dll file? Who's doing was this, why, and what scripts version do I have to roll back to to re-enable 16 bit mode in WWConfig?
Alternatively can someone just provide a d3d8.dll file that supports 16 bit mode, and is compatible with the current bhs.dll?
The problem is I am getting serious performance hits with the new shaders, and a factor in this is me playing in 32 bit mode, which has a significant impact on my FPS. If I could use the shaders in 16 bit mode, then MAYBE the framerate spikes and other performance losses wouldn't be as bad.. possibly non-existant.

3.2 will contain some performance improvements over 3.1.x. Plus, it will bring back 16 bit mode.
What graphics card do you have?

Ok, i'll just wait for it to come out.
My card is a GeForce 6600, but I have a dodgy processor, which is AMD Sempron 2800 and only runs at 2ghz. Furthermore, the shop I go to might have given me a dodgy motherboard, and my PC seems to keep lagging in intervals, you know, slight pauses which happen roughly every second. This happens outside of games, too.

I suggest checking your computer for viruses and/or spyware. You may have something running in the background taking up your CPU time.

I have a 6200, which is worse, and a Sempron64 3400, which is better, so I guess i'll probably get about the same speed as you. 
I can run at 50fps @ 1280x1024 with no shaders and 30fps @ 1024x768 with shaders.
