    I posted this in the map making thread but thought everyone should read this.
    I tried several experiments last night with a few test maps to find out why some maps lag and some dont. HERE IS THE ANSWER!!
    This is very very important. Possibly the most important hint on this site for making maps.
    While making your map, hit the back button and start walking around inside of it. While you are in your map look in the upper right corner of your screen. There is a performance gauge. That gauge absolute must be green on your ENTIRE MAP! Dont just stand in the center and just look around because that wont work. <span class="ev_code_RED">You MUST physically walk your entire map. Look at everything. Look up, down, at cluttered parts. Look everywhere!!</span> I found parts of maps that actually went into the red last night. Then I took that map online and sure enough. Lagged bad.
    It is very important that you look and walk thru your entire map and watch that performance gauge the whole time.
    THAT IS HOW YOU GET LAG FREE MAPS!!
