WORDS FROM THE AUTHOR
Some questionable use of self modifying code kept this from running properly
on caching CPUs, so that has now been removed and you can now enable caches
which makes the game a bit faster.
Since the game saves files all over the disk, I have also installed the game
as real files and separated out the user-modifiable files so they all start
with the name "user1_" - these can be deleted if you need to save space for
some reason.
I've started to investigate relocating the game to fast memory but this will
take some time to fully realise, so will have to wait for a future update.
Enjoy! :-)
