This is a little patch that fixes an inefficiency in MM2 sprite handling and reduces lag. I was hoping some of you might be able to beta test it for me. If it had any side effects it would be incorrect sprite display at some point in the game.

New version that further reduces inefficiency. In my testing this reduces overall CPU usage during gameplay 5.5-8.5% (8.1% average).
