ISSUE
The Colonies menu (F2 -> Colonies tab) has a ~3.5s video on its background of people moving cargo about that plays every time you enter/reenter that tab, and after it's done it stays on its last frame (I think; it may be an image file identical to it).
During those 3.5 seconds of playback, the FPS drops to the same as the video, which I *think* is 30FPS. This is particularly obvious when playing on a 144Hz monitor (and at 144FPS using RivaTuner to cap framerate as described in a guide in the forums), as the mouse will become handicapped until the video ends.
While the little video is cool, the mouse FPS detracts more from the experience than the video adds. To me personally, at least.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Change the background video to a background image. If too much work, the technically easiest workaround would be to chop the video to 1 frame only, which would surely be small enough in filesize to warrant including in the next round of post-Jan1 fixes.
