One of the biggest problems with HOI2 is that games become incredibly slow after about 8-10 years. Lots of people have ideas on how to speed it up, but I've never seen any actual tests confirming what works.
I would like to test this, so people know what they can do to speed up the game, both from a hardware upgrade perspective, and a purely software approach.
I had planned on doing the test by running the Doomsday scenario on extremely fast for 1 month as Cuba, and timing how long it took. If someone has a late stage save game with slowdown problems they would like me to test, I could do that to.
I could think of testing the following things:
Software:
Counters vs Sprites
removing minors
deleting save game history
modding minor AI files to produce less INF
Hardware:
CPU clock speed
memory speed and amount
presence of a DSP (dedicated sound processor, normally found on soundcards)
Hard drive speed
If anyone has suggestions for this, I would appreciate them.
