Sending tile info to the client is very inefficient because the client 
draws about 9x more than is necessary (exacerbated in iso-view).  You 
can see this easily by starting a game, disbanding all your units, and 
seeing how long it takes the client to update.  This is fixed in the dev 
version as the drawing is "queued" so it runs 10-100x faster.

I assume what you're seeing is the same behavior.  This will not be 
fixed for 2.0.
