Description
Catching up was extremely laggy for a few minutes on a random map. FPS was 0 and the gap between my time and real time was increasing. The UHM seemed to be doing a lot in update, but the map appeared to be fully generated. Perhaps there is something redundant going on that could be improved.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the catch-up problem on the linked random map while profiling the update path, especially the UHM activity mentioned in the report. Trace why work continues after the map appears fully generated; done means catch-up no longer produces 0 FPS or an increasingly large gap between game time and real time.
