That´s interesting. However, those sprite sorter issues are delicate, to
say the least. I doubt that any patch developer would like to plunge
voluntarily into that again, although ATM we don´t have a fully
functioning sprite sorter at all.

In fact, we seem to need two of them: the new one is required for
shorter vehicles support and the old one would be required for correct
bridges and other buildings clipping stuff.

OTOH, *if* the new sprite sorter would be responsible for a significant
slowdown, that would be a different cup of tea.


I slightly changed the title to get more developer´s attention on this
issue.

Michael
