I've played a lot with Rebellion 1.1 and while I took a break for a while I just came back and am excited to see the 1.5 patch being actively developed. I just have one concern, and that is the speed of the game in the later stages, especially on the new maps that were included in 1.1

I have heard before that Rebellion is entirely CPU-limited in terms of performance. I have an i7-3610, which while it isn't the best proc out there it is certainly up there. With that, no matter what graphics settings I use the game will inevitably slow down to about 1/2 or 1/3rd speed in the late game with 10 players, making it not fun to play after that. I just wanted to ask the devs if they are looking at any performance optimizations for the 1.5 patch or if this is as good as it is going to get.
