I know the feeling I played AC:Syndicate on potato mode at 1fps on my old pc. The entire game. Twice. I was a hardcore teenager. It felt wrong to play the game with good graphics and 60fps on my new pc.

The "1" setting was probably a planned "Ultra low" setting that they scrapped. The reason some things take so long to pop in and some don't is probably just because they don't have their ultra low models - except for the few that do and hence don't pop in. That's my theory anyway.
