Slow running.
OK there are some things you can do with the interface its self to help. When the login screen comes up go to preferences, click "advance graphics" and look for object detail,tree detail, set the slider to half. also set draw distance to 64. click "Graphics" and uncheck any of the boxes in Preformance options, an set terrain detail to some or none depending on how old your system is
