The FPS drop is expected, just not as much as it was. To be redoing and recreating the maps system means it is constantly doing things (redrawing, calculating, checking), and any attempt at throttling it has people sabre rattling that the maps are not running smoothly anymore.

There is a version up on github now which attempts to fix the 2 biggest causes of FPS drop, along with a .5 second throttling so it's not as smooth as it was, but it's barely noticable. Give it a try and see if it makes much difference.

As a comparison I just did some testing.

Test: flying from shrine to great wall and back in Vale
Base: 70-75fps
Carb Alone: 60-70fps
Carb Alone map window closed: 70-75fps
Carb + Quests: 50-55fps
