What's up, RMers?

Slowdown is generally attributed to the number of events used. In that, a decent anti-lag system works wonders. Events are systematically refreshed over and over to make the graphics animated even though they aren't visible.

But regarding the map's tilework, the non-event graphics, your TILEMAP class only reads an area of 17x22 tiles at a time (the 15x20 window with a bit of a 1 tile border for scrolling). They only refresh while visible.

The only additional general-system slowdown would be script-based when it loads the maps and compile them into one.

Imagine how long it would take to 'walk' across a 1500x1500 map.
