Bad FPS Spikes
I'm having some very bad FPS spikes while playing Ultimate Doom with Doomsday with the Hi Res Textures pack, I have tried both 1.10.0 and 1.9.10 with no difference. Here is a link to a video showing an exampled of what I mean. It seems to occur in the same spots, especially when opening doors. I would also like to note that playing Heretic with the JHeretic Resource Pack works perfectly.

I would also like to thank you all for your work on the Doomsday engine, its great to get back into all my favorite games from my childhood, I own every ID Software game ever made, lol.

I've also noticed that running a music program (I'm guess that is what you are doing judging by the non-Doom music playing over the top of that video) in the background on Windows, such as Windows Media Player, can sometimes slow caching to a noticeable degree.
