The game now runs on average about 25% faster on most systems - the rendering pipline has been optimized quite a bit.
You can notice this easily if you zoom out over a large city: The framerate won't drop that much anymore. Also, the game now runs much smoother on very slow systems.
[*] [h2]Adjusted graphics[/h2]
A lot of minor changes to a lot of buildings and modules have been made. Your city might now look a bit different now after this update.
Specifically, the ground for a lot of buildings - which was always concrete gray is now a bit changed for quite a few buildings.
[*] Fixed a bug causing the Football Stadium not to be displayed sometimes when placed at unusual places
[*] Adjusted the population growth for cities larger than 8000 slightly
[*] Changed fire spreading algorithm a bit to be not that aggressive anymore

Please note that although this update makes the game engine faster, we are also working on a further performance improvement which will specifically target systems with large resolutions and/or older graphics drivers.
Thanks for all the feedback so far, further feedback is welcome as always!
