I remember that Runesmith was able to do this but this tool is dead, and I want to check what caused my FPS drop (120 -> 30).

Is 'u' not showing it for you? Or are you suspecting cloaked invaders?

Have you done anything with pumps/water/magma? That can cause a drop too...

It is a total pain in the butt, but you gotta do what you gotta do if you want that upright candy weapon.
Your suspicions are nothing more than superstition

Yes, or something sitting in caverns.

Caverns you should be able to see on 'u' - although if it's a FB, it may have arrived (you'd get the message) and then moseyed out of sight. Or are you thinking GCS?

Stonesense used to show hidden creatures; I've no idea if it still does.

I discovered only part of caverns.

you could use reveal in dfhack to see if maybe a fb has set the caverns on fire or is boiling an underground sea or something. It won't show ambushes, but it would have to be a truly massive ambush to cause a fps drop like that. My guess would be an unseen fb with fire breath or made of fire that is causing trouble in the caverns. Despite what zooeyglass said, you only get the FB message if you actually see it, not when it arrives, so there could be dozens down there for all you know (I just found out there are 2 in my 2nd cavern happily tearing apart the local wildlife. One is made from mist and should be dead by now, so I guess that was the 2nd arrival.

Jam a door with its corpse and let all the goblins in. Hey, nobody said it had to be a weapon against your enemies.

If you activate the "Animals" tab on the Dwarf Therapist clone "splintermind-attributes" it will show you all animals including hidden ones, though some will not have names/types listed.  I can't guarantee that includes ambushes, but it wouldn't surprise me if it did.
