Interpolating object causing lag big time. Why?

[TexasGtar]

Hey everyone. I added an interpolating object in my monster hunt map and it had 8 interpolating paths. For some reason as soon as you opened the door to that zone the whole map started to lag so bad it was unplayable.

Seems like I have used these before in a skybox, but is there some reason these would do that when placed in the actual playable map itself? It was like super slow motion which would be cool for making videos I guess
but not too cool for playing. The only way to keep it from lagging was to look at my feet where I could only see 1 poly. To me it was weird and I thought maybe someone here might have some insight to these and why they would cause such a dramatic drop in performance. I tried d3d and open gl and it was bad in both.

Also once that door to the zone holding the interpolating object was opened, the whole map lagged, even the 3 beginning part zones that were fine before opening the door to the zone holding the interpolating object.

Look for interpolating ON-Line...

The only thing I could think is just use a mover as the object. Or after the door make it a video, like a CRT screen but not in the playing area.

A test map would be fine.

@ Barbie
Are you asking me to make a map demonstrating the phenomenon?
I guess I can try to duplicate it. Map is 58 MB's so a small file size version would be the only way to go.
Just copy the one room and add player start and see if it does the same thing?

To all:
I'll just remove it. It didn't look as awesome as I thought so I can live without it. It was just strange and I was wondering what happened. Lucky I figured out what was causing it.
Once I removed it, map played fine again.

Could you share what you figured out?

It's good to share that kind of info in case someone else stumbles into the same problem and finds this thread.

I only "figured out" that the interpolating object was causing it(the lag). Once I removed it and the orbit paths, the map ran fine.

Still don't know why. I have a saved copy of it in case I want to revisit it.
But I am forging on... way past it now,,, and the place I had it I now have a sky box. So it is a mute point for my map.

I agree that is is good to share info , I just don't have time to spend on the why it was happening. So it is still an unsolved mystery.
If I do discover anything I will chime in.

You want the map?

I posted the question hoping someone knew more about the interpolating object than me and could give insight.
Since that didn't happen I went another route, but if you want to look at it I can send it to you. It's 58 mb's.
