With careful choice of options and locations frame rates can be kept at a reasonable level. Analysis has shown that the tall pole in the tent is the code which measures Altitude Above Ground Level. This is known to be  code that is heavy on framerate and which is used extensively in the AI code. It might be possible to get a cheaper, simpler version of this function which would improve the impact on framerate. Hopefully, this will be the next stage of development.

=== Download & Compile script ===
For the Debian/Ubuntu users, an improvement to the [[Scripted_Compilation_on_Linux_Debian/Ubuntu|download and compile]]. If svn/git compilation fails from lates revisions (generally caused by sources among different softwares not in sync) you can still compile and obtain the lates known compiling version using the -s switch.<br/>Beware that this feature is under testing, but should work fine.
