What's your average FPS in a fort?
Mine tend to be around 30 in a mid-sized fort. However, my Dig Deeper fort is around 12. Must be all the ants and snakenen.

[UristMcGunsmith]

On my decent setup I get 100FPS on a 5x5 with 80 dwarfs and 50 animals. Weather turned off. On my crappy box I get 65 FPS with 50 dwarfs and 25 animals, weather turned off 3x3 site.

[Asmodeous]

I get ~100fps on a 6x6 with <100 dwarves. About 80fps on an 8x8 with the same. On the 6x6 with 150 dwarves I average between 50 and 70 fps depending on moving water/magma, number of creatures, amount of rocks, etc.

[Rat Of Wisdom]

A consistent 12-15fps on a 16*16 embark tile with 280 dwarves (and 329 animals, but they're almost all caged so they don't really count).

My machine is, apparently, a beast.

I get a feeling that my computer sucks...
I've NEVER seen 100fps outside of menus. That's 2004-quality technology for you.

[AnotherDwarvernDeath]

25-35 on a regular embark with 200 dwarves and a lot of animals. Seems to be slightly less than the average. Oh well, not complaining, someone I know gets like 2 FPS with 7 dwarves on a regular map.

I don't think your freind will be encouraged by toady saying this will be a slow update... Though I think that was because he was going to work on it soon, but whatever.

on mycurrent fort with 200 dwarves, a river, and 24 animals, im getting an average of about 20 fps

[CaptApollo12]

6x5 fort with 50 dwarves, too many items, and 80 animals about 65 fps

[Grendus]

50-60 with 80 dwarves-ish and a brook, underground river, magma pipe, and 45 z-levels. It's nice. Drops bad when I get ambushes or activate the water based defenses. Fluid dynamics are hard on the processor, you know.

[NW_Kohaku]

I was doing 60-70 before I started messing with magma and really playing with making a large resevoir fed with multiple murky pools.  Then it dropped to 50, then 35 or so when my dwarves hit pop 110+ with 200 animals.

Then I tried to play around with crazy and ill-advised [trade_capacity] experiments, and wound up with an FPS of 12.

Yeah, my laptop's from 2004 too. On embark (I only do 6x6s) I tend to get 80s, but my current fort runs 20 if all 100 dwarves are idling and 0~3 when they're busy. Then again, I deliberately do away with efficiency over architectural style.

[Grendus]

I butcher my animals wholesale when my fps drops lower than 70. Usually by that time there's about 5-6 pages of them, I cull them back to 2-3, mostly pets. Provides a lot of food, and maybe 10-20 FPS back over the long run.\

Ahh, the joys of owning a new laptop. Nothing like a dual core 2.2ghz processor to make those dwarves move fast (and yes, I know DF is single threaded, but dual core means DF gets a whole core to itself and windows moves everythign else to the other one).

I have an AMD Phenom II X4.

Quad core 3.01 GHz. That runs fairly nicely even with water and animals. I love my dad
