as for the profiler, here is an exeirpt of profiler output (gprof)

These are short runs, with one player if any.
If you don't bother to read, caching as it is now gives cpu load a rough 50% down, depending on the zone (AICheckCloseArrgo cumulated accounts for between 60-70% of non-cached version, divided by 10 or so in the cached version).
'm not sure about the oddity of a hash or vector class, instead of inline manipulation
'don't know about bounding boxes extensions. It's like making a function recursive to non recursive, or vice-versa. It's always possible, but .. i'll work in it afterwards
