Re: size estimation

[Doug Donalson]

I have always found that in increasing the number of individuals, the time
constraint hits before worries about memory.  (With the exception of the
time that the prey escaped my predators for a bit and I ended up with
100,000+ total individuals.  But then again, the sim wasn't moving in time
either at that point.)

Cheers,
