Summary0003164: Severe lag during sieges due to buildingdestroyer pathfinding
DescriptionDuring my fortress's most recent siege, the pathfinding from the numerous trolls managed to drag my framerate from its usual 25fps down to 4fps. In previous sieges where the trolls were the first to reach my fortress, the framerate increased significantly once they had been killed or captured.

If I seal the entrance to my fortress (using a drawbridge that lowers on top of a downward ramp, the lag similarly subsides once the trolls stop trying to path into my fortress.

Early sieges (which did not yet include any trolls) did not cause any significant lag.

Can confirm this. Every time my fortress is under sieged by trolls, my framerate goes from 20-25 down to 4-5 until they've been killed or they run away.
This can be reproduced every time a siege with trolls appear.

Old bug, happened with the earlier versions like 40D, and even the version previous to that. A single building destroyer doesn't make a very large FPS hit, but many of them, like armies of trolls, will kill your FPS every time.
