I'm sorry. I have an AMD 1600 with 512megs of RAM. The save/load menu is extremely sluggish. I just click on an empty slot and it chugs for a couple seconds. Err, why? There's no reason for this. I can understand turning off various CPU and memory sucking things for the latest whizbang 3d game, but should be, in comparison, a svelte 2d well behaving app. For the most part, it is. The responsiveness when actually playing the game is just fine (probably because 2by3 load everything into memory). Pre 1.40, after the first load, everything was super zippy. But I'm sorry, this PBEM security "we're not going to change this!!!!!" screws that up. Every PBEM game now requires the long load time. I don't know the technical reasons behind the "security problem", but what I see on my end as the user is 2by3 & Matrix unwilling/unable to find the cause of the problem and as a result, making us poor users, especially heavy PBEM players deal with it. That bugs me. Its a step backwards.
