I accidently pierced the demon pits, and quickly walled off the mineshaft since my 20 dwarves would stand no chance versus the demons. Only one demon had revealed itself, the rest was still hidden. The game immediately slowed down tremendously, going from about 50 fps to not even 10.

I tried filling the pits with water to drown the demons. It didn't work, the water drained too fast through the bottom of the pit. But while the water level rose my fps got higher too, going up to about 15 eventually.

The slowdown bothered me too much, so I stopped the flooding, which make my fps drop to around 5, and pierced the wall. 10 more demons revealed themselves and my fps went up fast, I could watch my dwarves get slaughtered with 50 fps again.

This slowdown was really extreme, but cloaked creatures always noticibly slow down my game. I know from the sudden lag when a goblin ambush is coming. And I know when they're all dead too, since then the game runs twice as fast again.
