Well, an update from my end
After observing the phenomenon a few more times, I can tell you that the game is not locking up per se, but rather that whatever happens when you click 'deploy' is dominating CPU usage. On my HP 2215 it takes 5-40 seconds to deploy (depending upon tower size), and during that time, the game does continue to update, but it literally skips many seconds worth of frames in-between updates, and if you're not watching closely, the updates are far enough apart that the game may indeed appear to be locked up. Hope that this information is useful!
