4.  Performance notes on game options

Several of the options in the Options menu may increase game 
performance at the cost of game visuals.

These options include:

(Options/Preferences)

- Animal ratio: Setting this to LOW will decrease the number of
animals displayed on the screen at once.  Setting this to HIGH will
increase the number of animals displayed on the screen.  The game 
will likely have an increased performance with fewer animals 
displayed on the screen.

- Crop plant density:  Setting this to LOW will decrease the number 
of plants displayed on the screen at once.  Setting this to HIGH 
will increase the number of crops displayed on the screen.  The 
game will likely have an increased performance with fewer crops 
displayed on the screen.
