The problem is not rendering time. Each unit is hand-drawn, pixel by pixel. It's an incredible set of largely great quality pixel art. Just 'improving the graphics' isn't really an option, redoing the sprites in a higher resolution would take months of artist time. It's not really like they have the team size to do it.

As llamabeast said this is not really an option without gutting the number of units. There are just short of 2000 units with the latest patch. Kristoffer can make a handful units a day, working more or less fulltime on it, with the current spritebased graphics. If the graphics were to be improved as in higher resolution or made 3d based it would no doubt take longer, especially since Kristoffer is used to his current production method and not to 3d art etc. Illwinter does not make enough money to realistically be able to afford hiring additional people. Keeping the diversity of units is simply not compatible with a more than incremental upgrade of the unit graphics.
