Good day!

Fresh start, no mods, clean install; the usual with a new version  

The "choose fortress location" screen is very sluggish and laggy. My FPS counter stays at the top of the cap set in the INI. I can almost count the Mississipis during the jump to the next location.
I do seem to remember DF hogging up so much CPU power during this phase. Once I embark and outfit my guys, CPU usage drops significantly to a meagre 1%.
In addition: I use text mode, mouse is on, G_FPS_CAP ist set to 1. Any thoughts?

G_FPS Cap set to One? You might try bumping that up to 10 or 50 and see if it makes any difference.. if the game is only updating the screen once per second, id assume that it would seem laggy since you dont get to see your cursor move till the next update.

Oh yeah, that worked. Thanks!
Did not think that gfx had such an impact. I was always reading about setting it to a very low number. Hmm. Will keep that in mind.
