I've disabled weather/temperature, and play with this as the only active program running. For some reason, I'm getting 30-40 FPS on the standard size fortress maps, and between 50-60 on 3x3 and 4x4. I've included my init.txt if anyone cares to look at it and suggest tweaks. I'm a bit frustrated as I'm hearing people with lower specs getting better FPS....anything I can do to fix this situation would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Really, that should be the default... At 50 I had about 8 FPS, at 10 I have 50-60.
Edit: I feel completely retarded... I should have read your attached init first...
Needless to say, I have no clue what your problem is.
Edit 2: I should also have read your actual FPS numbers- they just about match mine, and I don't think they're that bad... I doubt you're going to get better than 60 on small maps when... you've set your FPS cap to 60...

I notice your cap is 49 dwarves, try setting that a bit lower - pathfinding with diagonals AND zlevels is a real killer this version, and the less creatures you have the less of a load it is.
Edit: I should have read Eiba's post AND your init file closer :roll: set your FPS_cap up higher and you will get more fps.

The reason I have max dwarves set to 49 is that I like to control my immigration. Usually I produce so much I can get past 50 dwarves (and into sieges) much more quickly than I would like. Usually I set it at 49 until I have my base built up then move it back up to 200.
