0005079: FPS crash
When playing Dwarf mode, even on a modern computer, even on a 2x2 embark with 7 dwarves, the FPS- when playing on the surface- is hovering at about 35. However, when looking at Z-levels below ground, it pops up to 100 again. The FPS drop is not as severe- in the 40s or 50s- but still very much present in Arena Mode and in Adventure Mode. This has happened at all three forts I tried.
No tags attached.

Have you tried changing the PRINT_MODE in init.txt?

It seems to have been an SDL thing...Close, please!

What PRINT_MODE caused the slowdown, and what fixed it?
