Summary:
In game, every few seconds it will freeze. Immediately after it unfreezes, lua will take up over 80% of it before immediately falling down again. This repeats every few seconds. This occurs even if there is nothing going on (over 80% idle). This has happened to me in two towns. One town had about 20 villagers when it started happening, the other had 14. According to sakinoko, he had similar problems at around the 14 villager mark. Only villagers, animals, and light animations freeze. I am still able to move the camera and interact with menus during the freezes.
Steps to reproduce:
As soon as the 14 villager came to my town it started hitching.
Expected Results:
Expected it to happen at around the 20 villager mark like my first town.
Actual Results:
Happened at 14 instead.

Also, hitching occurs no matter what the game speed is (except for paused for obvious reasons), and while itās hitching, I can still move around, select objects, and mess with the menus. It may also be independent to that particular town. I started a new town and it seems to be problem free so far. Iāll try to get it to the same level as the other one and see what happens. Would attaching a copy of that particular town help?
SenEvason, I am also experiencing this issue and have similar PC specs (albeit older gpu gtx 670). It started for my current town around the 14 villager mark.
I started my town with two max size (20x20) farms and they have been fully operational for the entire game. I really noticed the hitching when I was getting deep into mining and revealing a larger portion of the map. I had every profession (aside from herder) working in several areas and have no buildings yet (just a row of beds). Once, I hit the 20 villager mark Iāve noticed the bar on the bottom right shows mostly blue for periods when the 1 second freeze happens (everyone stops acting, but camera and menu controls are unaffected). When my first goblin camp arrived, until now, the AI freezes have been 1 second every 5 seconds.
If you guys (Radiant Team) need any more information please let me know. This bug really kills the game after reaching an established point since everything gets extended by 12 seconds every minute.
Sitting at 22 villagers, may have started at around 20, I donāt remember exactly. I had a goblin camp for a long while before the freezes started. Very little mining or exploration done, a lot of buildings, some farms but not much. With your experiences as well, sakinoko, it may be villager related.
Also, itās not just villagers that freeze, but the animations for lighting as well.
Also having this bug, every few seconds the entire game stops, but I can still move the camera, and when it unfreezes lue spikes to over 80%.
My specs are similar to @SenEvason
So while Iām playing errors keep popping up saying "attempt to index local āentityā (a nil value), here is a screenie: http://postimg.org/image/y2ittp9eb/
Is there a way to disable the error console? I donāt really see any effects of this error in the game, and it just pops up every few seconds.
One more thing, the UI and the hearthlings freeze every few seconds but I can still scroll and move the camera around, and I noticed that every time it freezes the āluaā thing in the left bottom corner spikes to more than 80%.
Anyone else having these?
If you are getting an error every few seconds it means an infinite loop and thatās bad.
And the freezing is worse.
Could you post your system specs in the meanwhile we get some confirmation from any other player that has the same issue?

I have around 21 Hearthlings in my villiage, and about every 15 seconds, the entire game itself (Not UI freezes), such as fire braziers, animals and everything else in game. After about 10 seconds, they all unfreeze, and then freeze, and then unfreeze etc.
I tried restart, unistall, graphic low/high and nothing happends. Still getting lags and is unplayable.
