This is a small simple mod for the Steam release of Heroes of Might and Magic III designed to optimize the game.
- It uses rpmalloc instead of the original Visual C++ 6.0 heap (2-8x speedups)
- It uses a more efficient win32 message pump mechanism (CPU usage drops from 8-100% to almost zero on modern systems)

heroes3.exe(and replace the originalheroes3.exe) andh3-steam-optimizations.dllfrom Releases to your game installation (Usually it'sC:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Heroes Of Might And Magic III); - Run the game
