Production Anim Slowdown Bug Options

[Bittah Commander]

For many players the production animation (gclock2.shp) causes the game to slow down when you build something cheap (apparently for some people this even slows the game down to an unbearable frame rate). I just ran a quick test and gave the clock animation fewer frames (17 instead of 55); as I expected it now doesn't slow the game at all anymore while playing on the 'Faster' gamespeed (gamespeed 5) and when playing with the fastest gamespeed, it only slowed the game down to about the rate of gamespeed 5 for a very short time (meaning this wouldn't be noticeable online).

While this could be a "sort-of fix", it'll obvoiusly look a bit odd when building more expensive things... So I was wondering whether it'd either be possible to find a way to keep the normal gclock2.shp anim from lagging the game or make it somehow drop frames when building cheaper buildings.

I only had slowdowns when I had the ole' Ultima Mod on my old computer.
gclock2.shp I thought was causing the problem because of when I viewed it with XCC.

Offtopic but what about the rclock2.shp?
Does that effect anything?

EDIT:I thought this whole thing was caused by the BuildingTypes list in Rules INI being longer. The longer it is, the slower it builds.
Oh sorry, the game ITSELF slows down with gclock2.shp.
