(Thanks Bowen. Maybe you or someone else on beta could pass this one along
as well?)
I've noticed that sliding causes a massive drop in framerate that was not
present in 3.3. This suggests that the sliding mechanism is somehow wasting
system resources in large quantities. Also, the sliding behavior is much
less 'smooth' than in 3.3 (bouncing back and forth much like pre-3.4 uphill
slants did)

This performance drop might be in the collision detection itself? Regular,
non-sliding collisions also seem to be a large performance drop.

Impressions are from AW at 80m vis ~30fps while not sliding/colliding.

This has been reported in the beta newsgroup (eg. by Katherine) a couple
of times already. As well as CD does not work reliably (or at all) when
one is not standing on a horizontal ground.
