Game performance degeneration over time

I finally figured out what was causing this. Decided to look into it more after the same problem persisted in OOTP 23 (was much worse, actually).

I have 3840x2160 desktop, with 150% scale set. Had to change this to 2560x1440 @ 100%.

Possibly it could also be fixed by going into compatibility mode in Windows 10 (the "change high DPI settings", maybe).

ed: the way the game scales -- if I ran it in full screen mode, it'd also bork all my other windows into "improper" sizes or positions (eg notepad, if I run it without it having a specified location to appear)

ed2: forgot. also causes issues when changing some of the settings. screen may blink a few times or such, and have to ctrl-alt-delete to get out of it. doesn't happen when changing native desktop to 2560x1440. or, rather, disabling scaling was probably the fix.
