Anyway, it's happening to me...
At first I thought my sheer amount of mods was causing lag, but it was steadily increasing--along with my save game size.
So I used the tscr command to disable all scripts, and suddenly the game is all snappy and back to its original FPS. Clearly I have some sort of savegame lag. It only happens on one of my characters. The others don't have it.
I've read removing the scripts folder works for this, but I would like some experienced opinions on this issue.
