Original description

Whenever I hit an enemy the game lags for about half a second. Obviously,
with lots of enemies, this makes the game unplayable. 

I tried violetland 0.3.0 on Arch Linux x86_64 and used all default
settings. The laptop I tried it on isn't too crappy at all and thus I would
consider this a bug. I'm using free radeon drivers (this might actually be
an issue but shouldn't). 

Games like Urban Terror work just fine.
