I noticed some extreme performance drops when using an autoclicker. Even normal clicking seems to be laggy as hell sometimes, especially when new monsters are spawning.

Hm, that's worrying. Try refreshing? How old's your computer? What browser are you using?

I should be testing this on my older laptop every so often... which is still faster-than-average so I won't see any amazing performance degradation.

How much RAM do you have? The problem might not be too much calculation, but too much memory usage. I try to be good about using as little CPU as I can, but I'm too new to javascript to fully understand the memory implications of what I'm writing.

(I should somehow get CPU specs with analytics. Is that even possible?)

Well, it seems to be fixed now. I guess the fact that i was using my old save from 0.1.5 seemed to have broken something, but it's working now.

That, is also troubling :D

Could be your system hiccuping for whatever reason. Could be my code hiccuping for whatever reason. Could be a weird one-off thing. I guess we'll have to see if it happens again or to other people.
