    I think they had a built in FPS checker, but it interferred with something, so they took it out.

    You can always find addons which tells you, like Titan Panel or cosmos.

    FRAPS is a utility which will tell you your FPS. Install it, then open and minimize it. The current FPS will be displayed in either the upper right or left corners.

    You're crazy if you dont want to play without the mouse!

    Anyways, it should say in options or in the game manual.
