After entering (non-physics) timewarp, and then either increasing timewarp once (doesn't happen with further timewarp increases), or leaving timewarp and returning to normal speed, the game stutters/freezes for a short period; the period of time that the game freezes when this happens seems to be proportional to number of engines/parts on ship (regardless of whether of not they have Background Thrust enabled).
