True, but it does ... and it could do it better.  I have a 200K point
"route" (every railroad ever built in New York State) which takes
about 20 minutes to load, requires swap, and makes MM somewhat
"fragile".  BUT it does display all the railroads and is useful
enough.

Faster loading would be more useful.  Better reliability would also be
more useful.
