I've had this too, though I'm not sure if that was before or after the upgrade to 1.31; the two events are too close together.
I've found that simply saving the game, then loading it was enough to reduce lag for a large enough amount of time for me to clear the area with only a single save/load.
I had that problem with the deathwind as well [img]smile.gif[/img]
I'd tried killing the zombie chief, killing all the zombies, killing all the zombies and the chief (That seemed to work for a moment, because the circle went down just as I killed the last one. For a long moment I feared I'd have to kill all the zombies all the time to bring that shield down), various magics and weapons all to little or no effect. Then I found out the circle actually phases on and off on its own account, regardless of what I myself might be doing...

And yes, their 'leader' is tough. With a scythe and a bucketload of critical hits he can make you into just so much chaff in a matter of seconds. Traps help, but only the first few times.
