We don't know which resources will be targeted.  We only estimate which resource
will be.  If we want this estimated resources to draw lines, we have
to estimate these
resources for every glob!  Right now we only have to estimate for
every visible glob.
I guess this is a huge speed difference.

Why?
I only use autosave when glob2 crashes.  Otherwise I save the game myself.
I think this point shows again that what some people think is essential, other
people think is not or even that it is a deterioration.
The best aim is releasing glob2 when it becomes stable and include some
improvements, if they are easy to implement and someone has the time.
As currently only Bradley is coding, a huge list of small things can
take a while.
