I thought it may be because of something in my OpenGL implementation at first, then the game/engine on it's own maybe, but i couldn't point a finger to anything obvious (switching the different renderes didn' t show anything either).
Today i let a file snooper run beside the intro and it caught a massive amount of file read/locks on the save states i have (and i have *a lot*).

And why does it do that over and over again?
And why does it not simply look for the save states of the game that was run, instead of scanning *all* of them?
And why in the intro, it' s not like i could load or save a game there, shouldn't it scan the saves/ dir on start of ScummVM or while in the launcher?
Next step was to rename the saves/ drawer and starting the game once more...no more FPS dropouts whatsoever.
My question would be, could someone who knows the engine, please check what's going on there and maybe reduce the scan for save states et al or at least to Grim Fandango saves?
That would save me lots of FPS.
Thank you
