Are you referring to the
Flash Player projector content debugger? Because the most plausible reason for the 1 FPS thing is that one of your Loader mods is failing to initialize and is throwing a constant stream of exceptions.
The debugger application will show you any exceptions being thrown, which will guide you towards a solution (or at least help you to identify
which mod is failing).
You can check for hardware performance by running SDT.swf instead of Loader.swf. If SDT runs at a satisfactory framerate, then your computer should be adequate. You'll inevitably get
some slowdown when you load intricate costumes, animated backgrounds, etc... But
1 FPS is probably a fixable bug rather than an excuse to buy a new computer.
If you're already running the correct debugger application and it isn't telling you anything, then it's possible that one of your mods is doing something stupid (such as repeatedly attempting to load a non-existent external file)
without actually throwing an exception. Try disabling some of the most-recently-installed (or least-crucial-to-gameplay) mods in your
$INIT$/Mods.txt file. Periodically restart the game to see whether anything has been fixed. Try to narrow down the scope: don't just say "mod X is the problem", test further until you can say "mod X triggers the problem, but only in combination with mod Y and only if mod Y is loaded first". Then submit a bug report to the authors of the mods in question and see whether they're willing to patch the issue.
