Well it ran much faster without the NavNodes for me, I had no way of  
seeing the frame rate in Renegades a2 so maybe I just didn't notice  
it. Without those NavNodes, there would be only about 30 objects.

Yes.

I was seeing the same thing.

I know Renegades uses a lot of 3DMF shape created from a string  
(.AddShapefromString). Maybe there is a bad 3DMF code somewhere that  
is causing this??
