I will have to find my zombie repellent for sure now. I will join in the festivities.

now that you have asked i did try changing it from stock value which was 1000 to 1.   the file indicted max frames ahead detected was 3.   changing it to 1 increased it by 4 fps.  i sure remember it having a bigger impact when i did it back in December. but maybe i changed too many variables at once.    i was testing in editor  while in Georgetown  placing the crosshair on the same specific point.

After having to delete arma3 and reinstall I have had to look into the fps tweaks that many post on numerous forums.    This one i remember helped the most with the fps.

from http://segmentnext.com/2013/09/16/arma-3-tweaks-guide-graphics-and-performance/       this article is old but i needed the info for the "max frame ahead"      what file to change in particular
I changed my max frame ahead to 1 which so many others have had success with.  but im sure everyone would have to experiment with different values.

Arma 3 Config File Tweaks

Don’t know where the configuration file for Arma 3 is? Look here:

C:\Users\<username>\Documents\ArmA 3\

It’ll be called Arma3.cfg, and opening it in notepad will display lots of variables with specific values. We’re going to leave most of these things as they are, but we will make only two tweaks that may enhance your performance:

MaxFramesAhead: This is an advanced frame buffering option that can be utilized by high-memory graphic cards. It can greatly improve performance with modern cards, but can have a completely opposite effect with older GPUs.

Consider this if you have a good, modern GPU:

GPU_MaxFramesAhead=4
The value can change from 1 to 4. Experiment with the values to find what suits you best, starting off from 4 and going down if you experience issues.

DetectedFramesAhead: This works somewhat similar to the above, but instead constrains the video processing. Basically, it is kind of a limiter, and for that reason we want it set to 0.

GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=0
Note that if these two variables are not present in your config, you can automatically add them. Make sure you create a backup just in case.

dang that was a real good deal, did u jump on those Edmond or did you already have them? From other reviews the set i bought just have small improvements on those and have an included virtual 7.1 surround sound usb/dac card. or whatever they calling it.  I think the sound quality is going to be nearly the same. That is what they were reporting. This is what i currently use because they were free. https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Wireless-Smartphones-Bluetooth-Headphones/dp/B005GTNZUM/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1468505077&sr=1-5&keywords=logitech+headset+with+microphone

Have used these on occasion and are an improvement over those logitechs. https://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Beach-Force-Amplified-Gaming-Headset/dp/B00KSVXSZU/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1468505246&sr=1-2&keywords=turtle+beach+xbox+1

well with the server down i thought i would download tanoa again, but unable to get onto the tanoa server i had been visiting. not fixed for me.

I too got this problem the other day. It seemed to occur when I joined Beatniks and was downloading the server mission file.
I then installed A3 dev build joined a tanoa server along with the most up to date exile mod; and was successful in joining.   I then proceeded to convert arma back(opt out of beta).  For some reason that worked, I was able to get back into beatniks.
