Penumbra to Amnesia shadow rendering regression

In relation to the Lantern dynamic shadows MOD for Amnesia - Download / Screenshots
Out of genuine curiosity - what has happened? Penumbra had dynamic, smooth* shadows either from a glowstick or from a flashlight, with little FPS hit. In Amnesia they are disabled altogether. When enabled by changing the lantern light from point to spot type light the shadows are jagged and cause big FPS drop.

What was the technical rationale** for this? If the decission has been made to sacrifice shadows for X, can it be reversed so X is sacrificed for better shadows?

*not to be confused with soft shadows
**in Amnesia you have a lantern while in Penumbra you had a flashlight is NOT a technical rationale
