31 way slower?

Driverman:
Wondering if it's just me. On a 4x4 embark, I get about 30 fps on my desktop to start, versus an average of 100 in 40d on a 6x6 embark.

LemonFrosted:
It's because it's tracking 150 z-levels full of water and critters instead of 30 full of stone.

Edit: creating a new world with Cavern Layer Number = 1 will significantly reduce the depth of your map, thus the amount of water and critters.

Driverman:
Yeah, I dug into some caverns already. I would be happy to have ones that are about 1/10th as deep. What exactly does Cavern Layer Number = 1 do?

Seraph:
It reduces the number of caverns that you find.

On the default settings (cavern layer number = 3) a rough cross section of the map would be
Sky - Surface - Soil - Stone - Cavern #1 - Stone - Cavern #2 - Stone - Cavern #3 - Stone - Bottom

With cavern layer number = 1 you get:
Sky - Surface - Soil - Stone - Cavern #1 - Stone - Bottom

Driverman:
Will bottom still contain magma?
