So... I have this really annoying problem with FPS. Every 5-10 sec it goes down to about 60% of normal and my screen lags for a second, which, needless to say, pisses me off. This happens both on the map screen and in battle but of course it only matters in the battle, where this could mean the difference between victory and defeat. I'm pretty sure that this isn't limited to just M&B, but I haven't played anything else much lately, and this is a game where stuff like that can really ruin it.
I've tried many different things, such as doing the stuff that armagan posted about improving performance, and while my overall FPS has gone up a bit, the "spiking" stays, no matter what. I'm really confused as to what's the source of the problem, as I'm not really that good with computers. So to recap: my FPS is fine and playable for 5 sec and then I get the "spike", screen lags for a sec and the whole cycle starts all over. Anyone got any ideas how to get rid of this crap?
