I have a planet (sphere radius 1500) and I have another sphere which is 1550 in radius. The larger one has a cloud map on it which is ghosted to provide a cool looking atmosphere. The only problem is that when i get real close to the planet, its slow as feck, but when i remove the cloud sphere, its not as laggy. Are there any steps or methods I could use to improve some peformance?

use "set object" to turn culling on, although db might put it on automatically... if possible a smaller texture might help. Also check your other code, if you have things like for next loops that don't need to be run every loop, using an if function so they only run every few loops:
if count=5
for x=1 to blah
stuff()
next x
count=0
endif
inc count
