Torque 3D running slowly

Hello everyone! I downloaded the demo for Torque 3D and I really like it. I have one problem though, the game is slightly skipping on my computer.
I have a Quad-Core Intel processor with a 512MB graphics card running Windows 7. I thought that maybe it was because too many things were rendering, so what I did is I opened up the blank room level. Even with a blank room and nothing but a gray floor being rendered, I typed in the "metrics(fps)" command and I was getting only 30 frames per second (FPS).
Why is it going this slow with nothing in the mission? BTW, I checked the processor usage and it was at only 12%. Please let me know why this is the case.
Thanks
P.S. I have the latest drivers for my graphics card. Also, it runs this way on my other computers that run Windows XP.

Edit:
I just ran the "Deathball Desert" mission in the Torque 3D demo. When I typed the metrics(fps) command, I saw that the game was bouncing around the 34.5 FPS mark. It was still skipping. I don't get it.

Thanks for the quick reply. It bounces up and down, but after another examination, it starts to skip when it hits like 30 FPS or lower. It smoothes out around 34 FPS. Like even if I have just a terrain in the game, it runs kinda skippy. It goes down to 25 or less FPS.Edit:

Now if it drops down below 30, then it would be running slow. which is it?
