Windowed TT

Seen this. I play on a laptop. So the video card is not what you would call "high powered" or even "medium". Without window, I am constantly fighting lag and staying in less populated districts. With windows I can go anywhere with under about 400 toons in it. My brother laughs at me since he has a high powered card on his desktop and can full screen, window, change sizes and such constantly to no effect. ToonTown is a graphics hog, that is for sure.

Edit: Sometimes I maximize the window in buildings. They seem to work since they are "less populated" areas. But is lag catches up, I restore and wait a few seconds. This lets the processor catch up, and life returns to normal. It is interesting hearing a cog start spinning and explode, then watching the action with silence in place.
