Gandwarf: I have 10 second redraws with just a dozen houses when turning on effects!
How big do you do your documents?
I have put in 1000x1000...

LOL Hoel... it's not that bad on my computer.
My maps tend to slow down a bit when there's 100+ entities. It gets worse and worse from there. The Concetron map has thousands of entities for example

Most of my maps are 1000x800.

There's a few way to increase performance. I never have effects on while actively building and you can decrease some effects. See my second set of tutorials how to do that. It will be a lot faster. Unfortunately the eye candy suffers of course.
CAD programs are known to require insane amounts of resources

Building without effects is a given.
I can run crysis on max without any slowdowns, but not a simple vector program... thats sad.

Agreed, I would like it to be faster as well. Unfortunately it's not like Photoshop. I think CAD programs have some specific requirements.

Still, it's fast enough for me and you know I have created some very large maps.

Back on topic: do you think you are going to finish this map Morkhdull?

Slight jack here: don't worry about PS, sometimes when doing a layer style it will spin my hard drive for 20 minutes before actually doing anything and often it will start popping up numerous "help" windows.
