Hi Jeremy,
Well, it really depends on the "complexity" of your class. For a class with
many attributes, some of them holding non-literal values, it seems to me that
cormas will have difficulties to handle 100000 instances (i.e. to run a few
time-steps will be desperately slow). For a class with only a few attributes,
most of them holding literal values, it will be manageable. For instance, to
get a spatial grid made of 500*500 cells, which is ok with a standard
configuration of a PC nowadays, 250000 instances are created.
Best wishes,
clp
