Game slows down as I play it

I think this is a bug with the X11 mode (-mx11). If you play with curses (-mgcu) or SDL (-msdl) I am pretty sure it doesn't happen.

EDIT: I should say that right now the X11 mode doesn't really have a maintainer and is pretty long in the tooth.

Isn't this the same bug as ticket #1142, which was fixed in r2009?? Strange that there would be another X11 resources bug ...

As I keep playing the game, I notice it starts to slow down considerably. This is only evident on repetition commands like digging or searching. The counter is very fast at the start of the game, but about half-an-hour into the game it starts taking 0,5 seconds per tick. As you can guess this has a huge impact on actions like digging.

These type of actions also take over one of my cores, which shoots over to 100%. I suspect this should be expected if the code doesn't take advantage of multi-processing. But the degradation of performance is more troublesome.

Does anyone else experience this? Have you found a solution? Do you suspect a cause?

Thank you.
