I haven't tried placing polygons on top of each other for years. I remember placing polygons of the same net over each other in protel98 was pretty bad, it would slow down the machine ridiculously. Though I thought they fixed that in 99? (actually I was very annoyed at protel for this, including a major bugfix in the *next revision* on their software, protel99, but not making the fix available as a patch for protel 98..)
