I love the idea, and wonder if it would help with load times / lag. My computer isn't the best in the world, but it's no slouch either. I'm far above minimum. Yet, with about 100 assets, I run into lag issues when zooming in and out or panning with anything over 50k population. I wouldn't even dream of going above 9 tiles unless I was using the vanilla game other than the unlock mod. Load times even went from about 30 - 40 seconds to now about a minute and a half.
