Well, I'm here just to complain about my processor, because I'm going to have to run this for a couple years. Real life years likely...

Basically, I decided to make a huge reservoir the entrance of my fortress, fed by a brook three z levels under it. So I make three groups of 4 pumps to make the water reach where I want. I also make it too huge, so it's taking a long while to fill... And raping my fps...

At the same time, I decided to get rid of excess stone in the fortress, so I marked all non-marble stone for dumping in the atom smashing chamber. All 24k of them. So, I guess my dwarves are going to be busy for the next century or so... Real life century going by my fps 5...

Once the reservoir fills to 7/7, it will be better.

("Better" only being a relative term, unfortunately...)

Better to what?  "So horrible I'll be 90 before my miners get to that wall I designated 40 years ago"?

As a piece of advice, since you have a slow processor, have you done the usual things in the init.txt to make the fps better?

Aye. Turned off temp and weather, at least for the moment.

And the worst part, my processor isn't all that bad, as a Athlon XP 3200+.  Well, I guess it's time to upgrade anyway...

I'm running a dualcore 6400+ and I still ahve lag issues.  Try this in the init.txt:

Partial Print:Off:2
change to
Partial Print:On:5

really sped me up, but it depends on the system.
