+room full of used socks makes your dwarves feel, your FPS does not like it.

+deterioratecorpses
+==================
+Somewhere between a "mod" and a "fps booster", with a small impact on
+vanilla gameplay.
+
+In long running forts, especially evil biomes, you end up with a lot
+of toes, teeth, fingers, and limbs scattered all over the place.
+Various corpses from various sieges, stray kitten corpses, probably
+some heads. Basically, your map will look like a giant pile of
+assorted body parts, all of which individually eat up a small part
+of your FPS, which collectively eat up quite a bit.
+
+In addition, this script also targets various butchery byproducts.
+Enjoying your thriving animal industry? Your FPS does not. Those
+thousands of skulls, bones, hooves, and wool eat up precious FPS
+that could be used to kill goblins and elves. Whose corpses will
+also get destroyed by the script to kill more goblins and elves.
+
+This script causes all of those to rot away into nothing after
+several months.

+deterioratefood
+===============
+Somewhere between a "mod" and a "fps booster", with a small impact on
+vanilla gameplay.
+
+With this script running, all food and plants wear out and disappear
+after several months. Barrels and stockpiles will keep them from
+rotting, but it won't keep them from decaying. No more sitting on a
+hundred years worth of food. No more keeping barrels of pig tails
+sitting around until you decide to use them. Either use it, eat it,
+or lose it. Seeds, are excluded from this, if you aren't planning on
+using your pig tails, hold onto the seeds for a rainy day.
+
+This script is...pretty far reaching. However, almost all long
+running forts I've had end up sitting on thousands and thousands of
+food items. Several thousand cooked meals, three thousand plump
+helmets, just as many fish and meat. It gets pretty absurd. And your
+FPS doesn't like it.
