If you really can't live without BOB, you can always disable some of the more intensive options, like text map and probably clock too to reduce the lag.
The text map lag on Age of Merchants used to kill me.

hi, i'm kinda new to the site and I'm just wondering: why's the BOB called the "BOB" anyway? what's "BOB" stand for?
i tried using the search function but apparently the term origionated a long time ago and has been used a lot and I'm definitly not going to search through all the posts in each of the threads on that list of search results for "BOB" to find out where the term originated.
and um... mabye this isn't the right place to ask such a question but... o well.

they voted on a name and mine was already used so they used bob as an alternative

The text map lag on Age of Merchants used to kill me.
if the text map kills you in age of merchants then try puting it on extended mode on age of realms: might or on the new chapter of the realms trilogy.
93 terits and 199 continents quite a lot of text

It's an acronym for "Battle Observation Briefing".

There may be a lag while BoB runs..
But if I had to count everything myself, there'd be a bigger lag.
