I didn't see your update about the grid until now. If you have patient players, it should be fine; after all, what is to prevent us from doing something else, like opening a second SEIV game, while your mod loads?

With a few programs running (Firefox and Thunderbird), it took me five minutes to load SEIV, and nearly thirty seconds to open the Design window. My computer has an Athlon XP 1500+ and 3X256 in memory (not sure what sort of memory).
Well, I did have to delete 5000 components in order to get it to load. 32k is the most SE4 handles, and at 10x10x10 I had 35500 or so.
SE4 also gobbles up 500 megs of ram loading to its limit. Even your machine would probably end up swapping to disk if you multitasked much

I'm going to have to update my tech gridder to run batch operations, and once that is done, it will be easy to make a 5x5x5 Version AND a 9x9x9 Version for the supercomputer folks
