           Summary: Geneforge 4: stuttering in character and mouse
                    movement

      Distribution: ---

When you move your character around the game screen there are frequent pauses
both in the character and the mouse pointer movement. This makes the game
extremely choppy.

There is nothing obvious in the terminal output.

Reverting commit b712d6c8464681ca82f11cf49051401b874814c6
fixes the problem for me and movement, animation become smooth again.

Can be reproduced with Geneforge 4 demo version.
Start a new game from the main menu, get past the character generation and
intro screens. Move your character around the screen to observe the problem.
