Remove ants now !
Okay I ran several games in which the rules were to not use ants nests...
Guess what? We had quite no lag in game... Ants really need an update because, unfortunately, there is no way to disable that power-up before starting the game and sometimes CPU takes control of a player... And CPU is stupid, he spawns ants !

Pinky, I think you're missing the problem here.
Ants lag on some computers, and it would seem magic forests lag on some others (not one bit of lag on my computer, for example).
I don't know the difference in hardware, but it is clear to me that this is because of difference in computers, not the amount of boxen.
Four ant nests lag terribly on my system;
Are you saying I need to upgrade? In that case, to what? Everything affordable has only become marginally better - what, 2.8 GHz, PC9600 RAM, GeForce 9800?

- 4 GB PC6400 RAM
- 2 x nVidia GeForce 8800GT XXX, overclocked to 670 MHz (running SLi)
- 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Quad
- Windows XP Pro SP3

Perhaps it is a problem of CPU boundedness vs graphics card boundedness? The Core2Duo in the MacBook Air is actually a rather spritely little proc, so, if ants are CPU bound, I wouldn't have a problem with them. Magic forests, on the other hand, seem to be highly graphics bound, thus, having a crap Intel chipset (I almost wrote shitset), the MacBook Air chokes on them.
