well it looks like you have been playing for a long time. there could be a memory leak somewhere in the code. also i had a similar problem with it and i re-installed windows since it seemed everything else was running slowly. try re-installing it and see what happens

Warboy - Not on high speed enough. Also find it hard to concentrate with people talking both in game and over vent (yes I know I can mute vent). So chalk it up to I cant be arsed to start it for now ;)

Cloned - Doesnt matter how much time its been running.

actually yes it could be attributed to you playing it for hours on end in the same level. a small memory leak of only day 8 bits the size of a common integer can compound over time.

also when you allocate and deallocate data it tends to get fragmented like a HDD but far quicker due to small bits of data being created and deleted very often along with the smaller space compared to a typical HDD. it is something you can look up in many beginner C++ coding books to confirm. but this could only be true if it starts to be consistently slower after many hours of playing. if it spikes then it probably something to do with heat or certain areas of the map.

i always found that coming down the ramps in lazytown makes my FPS drop down

That kinda stuff happens to me when I snooze BOINC and it starts back up after the hour that snooze suspends it.

Yes, I know what a memory leak is and how they work. I stated it does not matter how long I have been playing indicating that this is not a memory leak.

Lazytown is just bad vis'ing at the ramps pretty much.
