The slow motion sounds are the best part.

Something tells me that you have a beastly CPU, because it still gets somewhat

Edit: Or else i just have waaaaaay too many mods installed. I should try removing some of them...

Disable mods? I think Data released a mod-manager a while ago. Check the devlog.

I think he means the slow motion effects.

Tossing around dropships with the gravity gun in slow motion.

Yes, sometimes I prefer or require the 1/10th of a second stutter over the game slowing down for 3 seconds.

If it's not already possible somehow, a toggle in the options menu or a Settings.ini variable to completely disable it would be nice.

From Dev log:

Simluation speed partially decoupled from real time. It’s allowed to smoothly slow down into slomo without sacrificing FPS when the simulation becomes too heavy for your machine to keep at real time. You can turn this off with Ctrl+O. Again, more on this later.

A complaint: The game slows down for ANY lag, even the lag i get (probably about a tenth of a tenth of a second) when i shoot something. So the sounds sound retarded and flat.

Also, music slows down with lag.

I like the music slowing down; also makes you aware that there's something big going on.
But I agree with you, an fps slider or something would be nice though, so that you can choose the threshold of when the game should be slowing down. Just firing a normal gun shouldn't slow-mo.

Data needs a buffer or something for the sounds, so when the slowdown gets to a certain point THEN the sounds start to slow.

as of right now, no matter what, you're going to get slowmo sounds no matter how fast the game runs for you.

Not so. I don't get slomo sounds constantly and my computer's a slow POS.
