    I'm playing this brand new release and as usual testing the way performance is improving.
    [machine is : core i7 3770K, 32gigMem, 660 TI]

    And i noticed this :

    1) as unusual I started early game getting stuck at 30FPS (while i'm usually at 60FPS). Game used to increase sometimes up to 60FPS, but very sporadically.

    2) the longer the game was running (and of course the more units i was producing) the lower FPS were => I reached 10FPS [see attached picture]

    At this stage i could noticed this :
    * All units could be selected as a single pool of units by drawing a square
    * PA client is obvioulsy more or less cpu limited
    * Graphic card seems not too much busy.

    The strange thing is the following :

    FPS suddenly increased up to 20FPS (15being the lower limit) while there were even more units in game, moving around, BUT :
    * I could not select all units by drawing a square (Units could not be selected unless i double click on a unit)
    * PA client was not cpu bound anymore.

    So to me it's quite obvious, there are situations in which PA client gets more or less stuck on cpu while not being able to take advantage of GFX card power.

    And for an unknown reason (correlated or not to not being able to select all units by drawing a square), starting to work even better with more units.

    If you guys have an idea about what this could be, you're welcome :)

    Thanks !
