It will take a long time to load and if you attempt to scroll the model in
the windows it will take long to do that to.

Nobody knows as no one has every put MLCAD thru that test. Either in FILE
SIZE or insize of parts in the model.

MLCAD has a long time to load when there are a LOT of parts showing. That
is if you have 5,000 2x4 bricks all stacked in the same location MLCAD works
like normal. But the more volume you use the longer it takes MLCAD to load
