Heya, this is weird indeed. While I investigate this, it would be interesting to see if you could answer these questions
1. Are there any mods you are using in that save?
2. Do the same stutters appear on a fresh save?

Additionally, if you wish to finish your save in the meanwhile, we have a rollback branch available on steam for 1.14.3, which is the previous update version on the game. You can access these by right-clicking the game and selecting Properties - Betas - Beta Participation

Thanks for the help. I might roll back to finish up the game.

I did use two mods. One is mass conversion which just sends out conversion demand letters to everyone you can. It mimics game functionality so I didn't include it in my report. The other is Population Control. My game had nearly 60k people in it which was causing it to slow down badly. Population control kills down to 30k. I ran it till there were 30k then turned it off. This increased the frame rate.

The update released long after I had culled the population to 30k. So no mods were active during my playtime where I experienced this issue.

A new game ran at 240 fps while unpaused, no stutter.
