There are a few tweaks you can do, if your CPU will allow it.
In C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\towns there is a file called
towns.cmd
This is a command script. Inside of this script is basically the amount of ram Towns is allowed to use at the min and max levels. If you adjust these numbers to reflect the ram you actually have and want used, it can help.

Here is a link to some information about the heap sizes and what they can effect.
This is what I did for minecraft because of the known memory leak issue when hosting a server.
I changed the file and no change in the game. It's likely either bad coding or the fact it's using java (most likely).
But the most one core is ever stressed is to about 30%, the rest about 10. That one core is the core that always sees the most use in just about everything. I too thought it might just be using just one core, but that's just not the case.
I guess till they fix this mess of a game I'll shelve it and wait. It's too good of a game to write off altogether, but is simply unplayable at this time unless you keep your population small, which I never do in any game.
I'd post a screenshot of my resource monitor, but one can't do that here.
Wow, if roads are the problem then that's a pretty significant problem. Roads are one of the only things you can use to help prevent starvation as you go deeper into the dungeon. They have a very significant effect on how quickly your townies can do anything. I hope you're either wrong or they fix it quickly.
Now I did have a period of bad lag then I mined nearly 3000 stone of the 1st dungeon level. But it lasted only about a minute and was not really that bad, more like lag spikes. and again cpu useage on the gene never went above 22%(about 27% on one core) in all 9 hours of game play. So any lag is not my system, but poor coding or java limitations.
i have no roads and ive completely cleared the first 2 dungeon levels and the surface of monsters/loot..
**EDIT**
I forgot about my underground mines and they had amassed quite a bit, ive started putting it all in more barrels and the lag is easing a bit. if that doesnt fix the problem i will post in this thread again.
