Re: performance limits for the rumble

The skipped turn time should allow roughly equals computation across
different CPUs (i.e. if it skipped turns on your computer, it should skips
turns in rumble and vice versa). If you take too much time, you'd just skip
turn. Memory performance is shared on 512MB between all robots in arena,
and you shouldn't take too much (afaik). RoboRumle is 35 rounds on 800x600,
MeleeRunble is 35 rounds on 1000x1000, TeamRumble is 10 rounds on 1200x1200.
