High Level Temporal Warden: resource leak

[jdisk]

There seems to be a problem with some high level Temporal warden talents. For me, on two different runs after about level 25 or so the game slows down a lot after some turns played. Dropping into main menu and loading again resets the "speed" back to normal for some turns, then it slows down again. So, there is a workaround, but it is quite annoying.

The same machine, same set of addons shows no similar behavior in other classes. My two runs were different races, so it seems that the common factor is Temporal warden.

Looking at the image in process explorer, one can see that both the memory usage climbs fast and that there are some threads that use up a lot of CPU.

The picture is just loading the game in the fortress and me firing some shots at the test dummy.

This is an a 64 bit Windows 7 System. Looking at some snapshots of the stacks of threads that gobble up the CPU, one night suspect some concurrency issues:
