No connection problem

[WarschauerPakt 0]

I've got a problem in Sim City 4. I deal with the no connection zot. I do know that this problem is often caused by wrong zoning, no workplace or no possibility to find a path to the workplace but I don't want to
talk about that because I know that they can't be the reasons why I deal with the problem. I use NAM and I only have this problem in cities which are rather large and have a highly developped road system so my question is. Is this problem due to technical reasons? Is there a way that the game can work faster because the no connection signs disappear, but they need 3 or 4 months to do so.

The zot in question is the default in the two part simulation system.  When the lot is seen for the first time by the simulator and has not been processed by the pathfinder this zot is put up.  If the pathfinder subsequently finds a path to a job, it is taken down.  If no path is found it remains.

 

The pathfinder only runs occasionally to save computer cycles.  Testing has shown it does not need to run except once every three Sim-months or so.

 

In a big city, when the simulation is starving for processor, this delay gets longer.  On some machines this may become intolerable when the city is large enough.
