Speeding Up Gameplay

Hey, I'm starting a map that's Epic sized, and my laptop isn't the best, so I was wondering what methods I could use to get the map to run faster in the WC3 engine. I don't mean WE, but actual gameplay.

Also, with turning triggers off when they're un-needed speed it up? I figured that it wouldn'thave to be checked every loop for the conditions so the map might run faster. Thanks.

Avoid mass periodic events, avoid haveing a lot of units at a time.

Yeah only pre-place base units, the others just create w/ triggers
and using simplified triggers is easier too
E.X.

Map Initilization

Add <This Unit> to <This Unit Group>
Add <This Unit of the same type as the other 1> to <the same unit group>
ect.
Instead use somethin like

Add <all units of this type/owned by player/in region> to <This Unit Group>

Tho I hope u already new this.

simplifying triggers dont matter much

Make sure you don't have memory leaks

Destroy triggers rather than switching them off when they're done. That alone has cleaned up one of my RPGs incredibly.

Thanks all! Though, I'd rather deactivate triggers that I might recall later :P

I believe large waits might cause lag, as the trigger's progress has to be held in memory. Also short waits, but that would be insignificant.
