Thebert - I'm using figures I use a lot with the exception of a texture for the Zygote Dragon. It's two different textures at 2000x2000. One is about 500k and the other is 150k. As for me, I'm on a Pentium 3 1.7 Ghz with 256 of RAM. I was just thinking about my background picture (on a Square prop). Could it be that I am using a BMP? I usually use JPGs.
