Need a save that shows major FPS improvement from killing the magma crabs. Is this happening with any other creatures?

This is related to 0007170: the magma crabs continue to multiply because they never migrate off the map.

If two magma crabs are born on the map, and start reproducing, will the offspring exit the map or will they just continue to reproduce?
If so, then this might be similar to the snowball effect, similar to zombies.

Do creatures that spawn on the map ever leave?

In the thread, martinuzz stated that the crabs could have spawned previously in an unrevealed section of the map. I consider that to be the most likely scenario, and should be easily confirmed in a 40.09 save by revealing the magma sea.
