[Performance] Plasma Rifle (Enhanced) Alt Fire Lag

Description: Using the enhanced plasma rifle's alt fire causes a massive hitch when playing with my mod configuration, particularly some combination of voxel doom, relighting, and beautiful doom together seem to cause this issue. The lag takes about a full second before advancing to the next frame. Turning off the "smoke, trails, sparks, debris" option stops the game from hitching during alt fire. I know you feel you already have option bloat but IMO grouping all the varying effects into a single option is a little too scaled back due to how different many of these effects are. I'm confident most players would prefer granular control over their experience over simplified options.

I'm not sure if you're working on Beautiful Doom anymore, best doom mod around btw, strikes a perfect balance on enhanced but I just thought I'd share this issue and my 2 cents. Thanks for your work!

This attack is due to be reworked to stop using A_RailAttack, because spawning multiple actors is too wasteful performance-wise. Although, I cannot comment on how much the other mods contribute to the performance issues, but once it's reworked and doesn't use actor-based particles, performance is bound to improve.
I'll comment here once the rework is committed to the repo.
