Evening,
I recently started DM (Original) again, although i set the following in the config file for more of a challange,
DIFFICULTY 5
EXTRA_MONSTERS 1
My problem is that at some points in the game it slows quite substantially for about 30 seconds /1 minute. This tends to be at places where there is lots happening...
Example, At the end of level 3 (worms) where you kill the mummy to open the door for level 4, when i kill the mummy and run round to the other side things start to crawl, I set off a number of fireball and thorwing weapons to kill all the generated worms, but it seemed to take ages for things to settle down and the screen to react quickly when turning.
I have a P4, 2.6GHX, 1GB Ram and fairly clean PC (rebuilt often) so surprised at the delay...
Any thoughts or help i can give to get this improved/looked at for 0.50?
[Fixed for V0.50] Runs slow in places

I've made a number of changes to improve the performance so hopefully this should help - I'll see what else I can do as well.
Gambit; I tried your dungeon but it runs without any pausing at all for me - can you add the line "FRAMERATE<tab>YES" to your config.txt file and let me know what happens for you when you stand infront of your wall text (compared to standing elsewhere).
