0008325: Butchering animal inside cage slows game to a crawl

Was the cage sitting in a stockpile, or was it built?

Also, poorly-written DFHack scripts are absolutely capable of creating lag similar to what you're seeing - does it happen without DFHack?

It was sitting in a stockpile.

I've played past the save, but I'll try to see if I can make another save.

Okay, I've tested it in a new fort.

Before marking for slaughter, the FPS rate was about 140 - 150 with a few lag bumps.

With DFHack:
  The first one dropped the FPS rate to a steady 90.
  The second one did nothing to the FPS rate. (this was after everything froze)

I then uninstalled DFHack and switched the order...

Without DFHack:
  The first one dropped the FPS rate to a steady 95.
  The second one did nothing. (after everything froze, again)

The fort when I first noticed it had the FPS rate steadily at 45 or so, and it dropped to 10 when the dwarf started to lead it.

Please upload a save that reproduces the problem (with no use of DFHack) to http://dffd.wimbli.com/ [^] and post the link here.

I'm not sure if the lag is related to slaughtering these animals. Have you tried butchering them a week or so later (in-game)? I did notice some lag when first unpausing, but the FPS rate reached 150 again by the time the first animal was slaughtered.
