Addressed commuting issues related to highways and double counting on subways.

This solves problems with sudden drops and oddly low values.

Addressed Life Expectancy issue in how averages were calculated.

This issue can be controlled to some degree by adjusting the new graphics option, 'building load speed', to better suit the performance of your specific machine. The result is that when loading there may be black boxes in view. You will notice quicker response when changing zooms but one trade off is that the back ground loader will take more time loading in buildings. In our efforts to increase the speed and responsiveness of zoom changes and scrolling we had to make some trade offs.

The immense scope of SimCity makes it difficult for it to run quickly at full breadth on machines with lower RAM, particularly when running complex operating systems such as Windows XP. It wouldn't hurt to turn down audio options via the options dialog as well in these cases. Very large and dense cities with complex road and underground networks will continue to be a problem with computers that have less than 256MB of RAM unless the user turns graphics options down via the options dialogs and turns down day/night transitions via the God menu.For example, at the low setting buildings will appear at a slower rate but there will be greater responsiveness to the mouse and scroll movements.

Building load speed will enable tuning options for the rate at which buildings are loaded in memory. Texture quality will alter the textures based on the zoom level. (1 set=low, 2 sets=medium, all 3 sets=high). Building detail will enable you to load one building style set per rank. These options are initially set at conservative defaults and can be altered for your specific machine needs. They are: building detail, texture quality and building load speed. Three new graphics options have been added under in-game graphics settings.The game no longer forces itself into the underground view unless you have explicitly picked an underground tool.Because of the additions to the graphics options, your previous settings will be lost and reset with new default settings. Game default detail options have been made more conservative with respect to memory and processor speed.Control-Shift-Alt-S (or holding down Alt while clicking on the city save button) saves the city without updating the region thumbnail and should significantly improve the game save time, especially on memory-strapped systems.The application's memory cache is more aggressively reduced at runtime, so that memory will be freed for other uses, resulting in less paging on systems with less memory.Simulation and Frame rates in general are faster for many cities, due to bug fixes and performance improvements related to the traffic simulation and neighbor deals.Zoom and rotation switching is faster in all cases, due to changes that made building graphics loading more conservative.
