I had the reduced contact reports set up as well, but it is a poor fix for the gameplay, even as it is a great fix for lag due to the log filling up.

The problem is that ou have the contact report range set to some arbitrarily short range. None the less, if a target passes inside that range, the chances of a contact report are the same. So you might only see contact reports within a few hours range at flank speed, but you will see just as many of those as you'd ever see, you just don't see the reports so far away that they are of no use to you (dunno what the report range is changed to in TM, the one released mod was set to 400 miles or something).

Bottom line is that if you are getting many huge patrols, that's the real acid test.
