It's CPU stress, is what it is, unless it's the amount of textures that have to be bound, since nearly every player has a different head/shield/body combo and it has to swap textures all the time.. I remember how some of my stuff ran on the PSP when it would render the world from in a nearly random order, and the performance increase I got when I sorted the world by texture.. Unfortunately, Graal can't do anything like that because of the sheer amount of different heads and bodies.
Nonetheless, I doubt it's that, and it's still probably CPU stress. GS2 isn't horribly efficient, you know.

Exactly. It has to process the data of 9 levels(including all the NPC scripts and player data). |
