ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

On my system (WinXP Pro SP3, nVidia graphics, 4 GB RAM) I notice a significant slow down in game play after about 1 minute of play. I opened up the Task Manager, added CPU Time and watched both CPU TIME and MEM. Memory hovers around 30 MB even when it starts to lag.

Here is what I mean by lag. I can only move one space per 1-2 seconds. The display of hits and status messages above the avatar will pause for 1 second, then move up, then pause, then move up until they fade out. All menu navigation is affected the same way. I will test on two other computers I have at my house later to see if it is reproducible there.

While double checking my keybinding menu issue bug, I noticed that on my system higher resolutions increase the amount of lag generated in navigating menus and moving through the game in general. Again, I need to test on other systems, but wanted to put it out in case others are also seeing this.
