Since every site has magma now, site finder isn't really needed as much anymore.

Yes, you should always apply more magma.

Could it be the ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY NINE negative Z levels causing so much in game lag?

I got to -175 in my first location. This is probably my issue in getting 6-10 FPS upon striking the earth (with optimized FPS settings).

I think I remember Toady saying that the underground is optional. I hope I don't have to play without it :(

My first site, a 4x4 with 188 z-levels, is giving me a stead FPS of 100 (its cap)

What kind of crappy computers are you people playing on?  ::)

I didn't have any trouble with worldgen (with the end year tweaked down) or the site finder. Actually, it felt like the site finder worked faster than before.

Very

EDIT:

Well well well. My first world gen was with unaltered init and parameters, so it went the full 1050 years. I just genned another with 0% beast death to stop world gen at 200 (boy those updated megas are resilient) and it did the trick, i'm at the 100 fps limit easy.

I guess it was just the huge 1050 year file slowing it down.

It could be that I put '20' for each of the layers between underground levels, but why would that afect the site finder?
