I'm not putting this on the bug tracker yet, because I'm not sure what this is.
This behaviour seems to be 100% related to DF. It only started yesterday after I started running this game.
I previously played many earlier versions of this without issue. Still have 34 here and it seems very different.
Upon loading 40.01 and now 40.02 (pheobus set)
My computer seems to get extremely slow. Not only does it get slow while the game is playing, even after the client has been long closed my system is behaving strangely.
My firefox scrolls slowly after running the game. Even a restart of firefox only fixes it slightly.
Minimizing and maximizing windows causes the windows aero to be very slow. It's like the windows are being minimized (you know the pop-up and pop-down effect) in slow motion. This persists after the game is closed.
While the game is playing, it seems very "slow". A new fort with only 7 dwarves seems to run slower than a v34 fort with 100 dwarves. Dwarf movements, etc are seemingly slower overall.
This behaviour corrects after restarting my machine. I never ran into this kind of issue with v34, but essentially starting my machine, then running DF for awhile and the machine seems extremely sluggish after and continues until being restarted.

anyone else experiencing this? Any ideas what might be the cause?
