Not sure where to put this. Also, yeah, I did use the search feature; if there's another thread answering this, my apologies.

With that out of the way, is anyone else having obscene load/save times? Every time I load a game or save a game, it takes 20-30 seconds for it to load. Granted, that's not all that much, especially considering I'm a DF player, but it adds up.

And it's really annoying if you're play in adventure mode, or looking up things that require making loads of new chars.

And no, my computer isn't the problem. Trust me.

That's normal for large worlds. For faster load times, make tiny worlds.

Congrats, Psieye. This is the first time I've seen a derailed thread get put back on the rails.

Yes, it's the main reason I switched to small worlds.  Oodles faster load time and save files that are in the range of 7-10MB (4-7MB when 7-Zip'd).

The world gen parameter for small worlds is: [DIM:65:65]
