performance stuttering question

hi,

my current game has performance issues. i don't have experience with ups problems. my understanding was, that it shows as a somewhat stable lower framerate.
but in my case it is different. most of the frames are fast (50-60ups), then some take ~700ms. i don't understand what the problem is. i don't see any corresponding peaks looking at file i/o, cpu-usage, etc (windows resource monitor).

my current game uses pymods, and i have a medium big train-block-system (no train mod, just circuits).
~130 blocks with ~200 1-1 trains

when showing the debug frame-times i see a huge max number every few seconds (700ms). typically in category "train path finder", sometimes "entity update". but most of the time all the timings are much lower.

does anyone have ideas what that could be caused by?

many thanks for looking into this.

without mods the problem stays but gets reduced to stuttering of 200ms.

the save was too big to upload in one file.
to unpack download both files in one directory, then rename save2.zip to save.z01 and then unzip save.zip normally.

used mods are (up to date versions):
Factorio Standard Library
FNEI
Pyanodons Coal Processing
Pyanodons Fusion Energy
Pyanodons HighTech
Pyanodons Industry
Pyanodons Petroleum Handling
Pyanodons Raw Ores

several people have apparently downloaded just one part of the multi part zip archive of my save... that is not supposed to work ;)

just to be clear about it:
- download both files
- into the same directory
- rename save2.zip to save.z01 (i was not able to upload the file with this name)
- unzip save.zip (that will automatically use both files)
- under linux use google for how to unzip multi part zip archives.
