Am I doing this right?

Wow. To be clear deleting a Neutral Country marker is probably sending some Global Key Commands -- because it wants to put the appropriate Event marker on the Turn Track, and in some cases (Bulgaria and Romania) deploy some troops from the Reinforcement Card to the map. But... 15,000 times?!

For the reference, when I run Paths of Glory 9.8 on Vassal 3.3.2:
- then the Player starts loading and loads for about 2:20min until it finishes loading and the CPU usage goes down

With the changes from the the PieceCloner.clone() PR, this loads in about 1:00 minute.

I don't trust the visualvm profiler, it gave me completely different results than JProfiler, and the change applied after the JProfiler result got me a huge performance increase. Profiling Java is a very complex matter and there is a reason why all the good profilers cost money.

[Cattlesquat]

Is there one that costs a couple hundred dollars that we should get?

[Flint1b]

The most popular high-performance minecraft server uses the YourKit profiler, it costs money but they give free licenses to open source projects if the project adds a reference to their website. I hear Vassal used to have this license already and YourKit gladly supplied it, it just wasn't renewed at some point.

I have emailed Yourkit requesting a new License. We will need to add a link to them back in to our project page, I have asked for details of what they need.

IIRC, I removed the markers for Romania and Italy, and I removed Bulgaria
but I don't remember if that was before I stopped profiling. Either way,
it seemed like too many.
