I noticed that I had a lot of lag issues in my last fortress, none of which I been able to link to something in particular.

It seemed like the lower lever I got, the slower the game became... Even though nothing was dig out there yet.

After a while I thought it was probably because of a graphical issue, having too many things running on the screen would cause slowdowns... But then it turned out that it was mainly in areas already fully excavated/populated/discovered that the lag had less impact... I can keep my screen to a certain place and have the max FPS I've set for the game (45) for eternity, and yet when I move only one button press in a given direction, I'll fall to 20 or sometimes even 15-10... And yet the view on the screen change very little.

I'm pretty much baffled by this behavior. Oh, and I'm always playing fullscreen, and it seems like I lag less when I remove the right map but I keep the command screen open to the right.

Anybody have any idea of why the game would react this way? Is there some hidden stuff in the lower layers of earth which slow the game to a crawl until I discover it?

Is this in 33a?  32a has a known bug where it runs slower if you are looking at terrain that is not walkable (ie, if you are looking at sky, or if you are looking at not-dug-out rock).

Please post version numbers in your bug reports!

Why would you assume that I'm using the old version? I'm playing with the new version of course! O_o

How many different layer of levels do you have in the old version?
