Better Animated Water/Lava Splashing

An idea I've had for a while, better splashing animations for lava and water. Sort of like the animated splashes in the Caves & Cliffs Part 1 Trailer. The higher you fall from, the bigger the splash. But I understand how this could cause a lot of lag or be exploited to.

    Maybe it could be just particles, with more intensity depending on the fall.
    It would be easier.

    well particles makes lag too, maybe they can just configure an other particle system that imitates the splash of the caves & cliff part 1 trailer, so that it won't be as lagy as you can expect, maybe it can be even lighter since you would need only 5 particles, one for the circular waves and 4 for the sides of the splash, but it will require an animated texture since i have in mind a static particle system
