The other issue he might be concerned about is that large maps are graphically demanding. The Dom2 graphics engine is very inefficient due to being written for compatibility, not performance, and a laptop GPU may not be up to the task of rendering very large maps.

Maybe - but the map display doesn't seem (on my system) to be a bottleneck, nor should it be. I wrote graphics engines to display maps on Unix and Windoze (raster and bmp file maps), and only needed to implement tiling for maps over 50 megabytes in size.

I think it's more likely to be the between-turn processing - but then, I haven't tried on a laptop, so you might be right.

Waiting to hear from him, or others who have the problem with large maps.
