This is possible, but allow me to elaborate on this. I cannot know, but
maybe you can.

Machine: 2 GHz, 4x AGP, enough RAM

Game: Map 210 x 140, some 2300 units, 14 AI, 2 Barbarian + 1 human player

Situation: Player tab on top, meeting dialog above minimap, no map visible.
Meeting with 2 treaties (shared vision), click on accept treaty.

Process info: civlient 34072 MB VSS, civserver 56984 MB VSS

On click, civserver consumes 1 cpu second, civclient 11 cpu seconds. During
this time the client is fully unresponsive, no screen updates are drawn.
I don't see this on new turn starts.

Ah, this is non-iso trident tiles.

Savegame is 860 KB, I'll attach it to the ticket. Way to reproduce: make
reciproce shared vision treaty with the Indonesia (2 clauses).
