I suspect this could be due to having the window span more than one monitor. Those that I have found reporting this problem have all referred to using more than one screen at the time of posting about this effect. - As a dual screen user myself, I have reported in the past about the very low FPS once even a very small portion of the window encroaches onto a second screen. - Apart from the low fps, other things are also exceedingly slow to respond, like the light settings, (F1-F4), and the P key. - On my system the drop can be to as low as 5 fps, down from 111, so I'm suggesting that on some systems, the fish might actually freeze.

Therefore for me, using windowed mode across more than one screen, is definitely out!

Once the window is moved onto only one monitor, everything returns to normal.
