Yeah since the game is overhead view, it's not optimized for the first
person camera, the first person camera is just for debugging and stuff and
has lower FPS.
The big bottleneck of the game right now is actually moving the player and
enemies around on the map (the collision detection). I'm working on
something right now that should boost that up.
