[0.16.51] Occasional UPS slow downs when running on different terrain(?)

Hi
My somewhat large base started to slow down occasionally - only when outside (main) base and only when south-east of it/map center, so i opened debug menu to show frame cycle times and found that the only noticeable difference is "Flip[on]". Any way to expand that item? What does it do?

I was lucky last time it happened as i was able to take screenshot with halved UPS, move just a few tiles south and take another screenshot without any performance issues. When i returned back north it halved the UPS again. I did that multiple times and it finally stopped after about 3 minutes. It does that every time - all i need to do is stop running and wait it out (30 seconds to 5 minutes) or keep running but that takes longer and is sluggish

Thanks for any ideas

(PS: Did previewing my message really deleted all but one attachment?)
(Links to att. in case it really removed them:
Screen 1 - UPS low
Screen 2 - move away and UPS 60
Screen 3 - move back and UPS low again

Try deactivating VSync, if this does not do it, reduce VRAM usage or sprite quality.

The forum was updated recently and the problems with attachments is a known issue, but I haven't heard anything about them fixing it, so...

I think it is better - I disabled vsync and after three days I saw little drop to 58fps and ups around the same location, but only twice. So i think its ok now :) Thanks
