Killing these creatures does not resolve the issue after several steps (with arrow keys, not one-step), so I suspect something else is at play here, but I wasn't able to identify anything unusual. There doesn't seem to be much activity in the caverns, despite the number of cave creatures listed.
Try to move around with arrow keys

Same problem here http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=13970 [^]
The problem arised after leaving a cave, sleeping and approaching the cave again.
DFhack reveal and exterminate shows over 700 crundles and many other creatures. Killing them through exterminate helps recovering fps to playable levels -the less creatures remaining the better.
