If performance can not be improved I have no choice but to find another game to occupy my time and take my money. Either the performance needs to be improved or the yield of crops and trees need to be increased so it does not take so much to support facilities. The number of facilities continues to increase, but the yield stays the same. It takes more and more crops, trees and flowers to support the facilities. If slashkey does not want players like me then let me know and I will be gone. The same is true of my neighbors, many who have recently stopped playing. I have noticed that the number of people playing farmtown is decreasing based on the statistics reported by AppData. I suspect it is the performance problems. I really do not want to hear from all those who berate people who have farms like mine. I just want to let the developers know that the problem of performance for longterm players is critical.

I've been playing FT since June 2009. I have never had any layered fields, or stacked fields, or fields with trees on them.
I have lot of factories (over 4 each of quite a few), and services (over 2 each of many), the combined total is over 150, I lost count, hehe, but I don't have any problems with supply shortages due to ruthless data management and disciplined crops/production management.
I do have both mines and an oil pump on each of my 16 farms, plus the orange poo spreader, and red sprinkler.
1 have one farm at 32 x 32, seven more at 30 x 30 and the remainder at 26 x 26. They all load a great deal quicker than most of my neighbours who stack/layer fields and scrunch trees/buildings.
I don't have an issue with those who do stack or layer, but to blame Slashkey for poor performance due to the way some people overload their farms, is a little unfair and unwarranted.
Layering/stacking will always adversely affect your game's performance due to the nature of what you're doing, i.e. overloading data, and the solution for that shouldn't have to be all down to Slashkey, when a quicker fix is in your own hands....
