So I was playing in NAGZ as Sonic, taking my time to collect lots of goodies. The timer is already over 20 minutes when I get to the conveyor belt section at the very end, and at this point the game just starts lagging ridiculously (didn't check, but it was something like 2-3 frames per second). It ends up killing me, even though I was flying as Super Sonic, but here's the thing: the minute I touched the death pit, all the lag disappeared. When I respawned at the star post directly before said section, the game was going at full speed again.
