Hmm, but I'm running a server on the same machine, so the socket overhead
shouldn't be this slow (unless Java sockets are really inefficient). I'm
thinking that maybe my moving the server packet handler to a different thread
might be part of the problem; whenever I receive a tile info packet, I have to
create a new Runnable to invoke on the UI thread if the map is going to get
updated. I'll need to have another look at this.

Cheers,
