1) far too late, now
2) the engine really isn't the best around for heavy vegetation, or so I have gathered from past DH experiences.

Well from a technical point of view there is no problem with "heavy vegetation"

Really? Every vegetation-intense map I've played has given me huge performances hits...

If you think that a dense vegation restricts your view you already have a good starting point for optimization.

You can start culling much earlier than on a open map (the distance at which the bushes, trees disappear). Also you can set the fog lower since you can't look that far anyway, it won't be annoying.

Those are just some basic techniques I bet there are more sophiticated ones

Hadn't thought of that...
