Reducing end of turn time

[uanime5]

My latest mod takes a long time to load between turns (5-7 minutes) and I was wondering if there was any way to speed this up. My mod is currently 4.5 Gb and has 31 factions, but doesn't have a garrison script (the campaign_script.txt is only 56kb).

I have tried reducing the movement allowed, so that the computer could not move each army so far but this had almost no effect on the end of turn time. I have not yet tried editing the 'descr_campaign_ai_db.xml' file because it can be very difficult to edit it without destroying it. Is there anything else I can try?

might be stating the obvious - in which case apologies but:

1 - have you looked at a trace in the system log to see what is happening and when?

2 - campaign script may not be long but could there be anything that requires constant monitoring, as opposed to being called on event?

3 - hordes - are any factions hordes? these can slow things down.

4 - is the AI very busy during its turn - is it fighting a lot of battles?
