I'm running Voxatron on this computer:

P4 2.53 GHz
1280 MB RDRAM (1066 MHz)
256 MB Radeon X1600 Pro
Windows XP

The BBS feature has a problem where, when I tell it to download new BBS levels, it pegs my CPU at 100% until it's finished. It seems like this happens when the program is just sitting there waiting for data from the server, however I suppose it could also be because some Rube Goldberg algorithm is being used to process the list of levels.

The editor is basically unusable, due to lag/slowdown. If the editor has different system requirements than the game itself, could these be posted? People like me with old computers would appreciate knowing this before buying the game ;)

I've encountered these issues in multiple versions of the game. Both seem to occur in v0.1.6, but I don't remember which previous versions I noticed either/both of them occurring in. They both did occur in at least one other recent version, though!

Thanks for the great game.

I've noticed significant performance drop in the editor as well, although downloading new levels seems to work fine for me, even with my terrible internet connection.

Just to make sure I'm clear: the actual downloading works fine. The issue is that I really would appreciate it if Voxatron didn't hog all my CPU when it's sitting there waiting for the list of levels or whatever. And yes, I know it's alpha and everything, but I couldn't find anyone else who had reported this so I thought I'd try and be helpful :)
