Summary0007493: choppy lag after a few months
DescriptionFortress runs fine at first, about as fast as previous versions; after a few months, regardless of water flow or dwarf numbers (in all cases <10 so far) the game begins a choppy lag cycle of about 1/2s of regular tick speed and standing still for the remaining 1/2s. Consistently reproduced with 3 fortresses so far. always used a 6x6 Embark area in various biomes. Effect the same on the two machines I could test it on.
Steps To Reproduceplaying fortress mode for more than two months.

I'm seeing this too, with lag lasting from second long intervals to 30+ seconds - although I have grown my fort somewhat (66+ dwarves). Windows 8.1

I can almost guarantee this is because of your embark size. Although the new version is far from optimized, a 6x6 map area wasn't optimized in any version.
