here's my 2ó

there is a lot going on in the game when you start getting that many things
the computer has to take control of.   It is just due to the  state of the
technology today.   The same thing happened in the original red alert when
it came out.  The same for the warcraft games, and all other similar games.
Granted some games cause a bigger hit  than others.   It is just something
you have to deal with when the computer is trying to control 100's of units
at a time, plus run the rest of the game and anything else the computer
might be doing.  Once the units start getting killed off, things will pick
back up again.

I am not sure how much it slows down single player, I will have to try that.
I just know what happens when we play lan games with 2 of us against 5 or 6
ai.

btw, don't pay any attention to the troll that has been posting nothing but
bs in this forum ;o)
