I'm still not entirely sure what your asking but from what I think your question is I will try and help...
Ground Environment: Produces replacement ground day/night texture sets for all land class textures. Stand-alone programme, has no actual integration with FS, rather it simply replaces/moves files in the texture folders. Old textures can be restored.
Ultimate Terrain: Once again, has no actual integration with FS. The stand alone programme produces 'custom' .bgl's depending on what preferences you have in the small selection window. The actual .bgl's are kept in a seperate folder, and are added to the scenery directory just as any other ad dons would be. Old mesh can be restored.
Flight Environment: Ditto as above.
None of the programmes actually have any integration into FS, and thus will themselves, have no frame impact. Obviously however, the textures/mesh they do produced could cause a frame hit, although on any computers above mid-low range, nothing should be noticeable.
However, just some personal input. I did notice blurring of ground textures when I had UT installed, no frame hit, but a blurring. Returned old mesh, and it was gone, installed again, and it came back. Installed FSGlobal Europe, fixed it ;)
All down to personal preference really, good luck choosing, and have fun with your new purchase ;D
