Here's a larger base from 0.16.51 with 60/60 no issues: Possibly related, I see UPS drop when zooming in. Here's my 0.17.4 base with one mining outpost and up to blue science (at the point where performance was dropping enough for me to post a bug report.
First zoomed in and UPS drops to around 40: Then zoomed out and UPS recovers to 60 (still with ~33 FPS) My setup
