You should consider creating a new thread about your changes!
I have been harping for quite a while about how there is likely room for optimization in most commercial Amiga games because: they were built under time pressure, profiling and debugging tools were usually very primitive (especially compared with modern ones like VTune) and oftentimes teams included coders which were not necessarily super experienced.
So I would be super interested in which kinds of avenues for optimization and rework you found in LionHeart.
