[Freeciv-Dev] slow goto

["Andrew E. Schulman" <andrex@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

In the later part of large games, I've noticed that movement under the
"goto" command becomes veeerrrryyyy ssllllloooooowwwwww.  For example,
sometimes a transport loaded with units will move as slow as 0.5 square/sec
on my Sparc Ultra 1.  This especially slows down AI players, since they use
goto a lot.  I expect that this happens because units are part of long
lists that have to be traversed.  Does anyone know exactly the reason for
this problem, and whether it can be improved?
