Alright, this sounds much more plausible. Can you confirm that the game runs faster after doing this to an enormous number of objects?

To be honest I haven't had a good chance to measure it yet, since I suspect my current fort suffers more from pathing lag than anything else.  I may have put my workshops down by the magma sea and everything else on the surface >_>

But I will start a new fort for !!science!! soon and report back.

Unnecessary xxSCIENCExx.

Just dig a room for the smasher, build a bridge, connect it to the cat-switcher, close the door to the room, make a hole for garbage disposal one level higher and drop everything down through it.
Then start the autosmasher with a random cat.
Safe, automatic, effective. Can also be safely used to get rid of prisoners.

Ever heard of the bridge-a-pult? What happens when you dump onto a closed bridge?

Yeah. It fly in random direction. But there's only one hole in the floor 1 zlevel above, so nothing will escape.

Bridge will smash the flying things by the next "slap".
