Is the addition of new layers on living creatures causing the temperature crunching to take a lot more CPU time than before? Turning off temperature in a fort with 86 dwarves and a small magma forge took my framerate from 50 to 110.

probably more to do with all the spoiler stuff down there. It could be temperature related?

There *is* a lot of magma around, so I guess that could do it... But all I did to exploit it was a two-tile wide magmaduct going for about fifty tiles [and up two levels with manual pumps] and that caused the framerate to drop from 100 to about 50.

Couldn't have been pathfinding, everyone was idling.

My experience has been that once you breach water/magma lakes, framerate drops slightly until it has refilled to the completely full level (due to continual liquid pathing). Even if you just take out a single 7/7 block.

That sounds about right to me, yeah. I usually create/embark with temp and weather on (you know, so that civilizations in "ON FIRE" areas actually die off) and then turn them off once the framerate starts crunching down to 50 or so. The boost makes me feel like I'm accomplishing more.
