Slow zooming, re-drawing and Trace won´t work.
Hi! Hello guys, I was wondering whether any of you are having these same problems:
-Zooming in and out, moving around the map and re-drawing are extremely slow!!!
-When I have for example and island and I want to change the land color, for example by drawing a contour land over it and using Trace so it fits perfectly with the coastline it doesn´t work. The software goes crazy and it wont respond anymore.
Could it be because my map is too big?, Im drawing a 2500X2500 kilometers map. Is there any solution for this?

There is a command to reduce the number of nodes in a path or poly called REDN (REDuce Nodes). You can find it in Edit>reshape. It selectively removes the nodes that will change the shape the least.
Don't create lots of nodes in you polys. Typically you don't need them. If you want to be able to zoom far in, you're typically better off creating a detail map or two.
