Hi. I recently upgraded my system and Eve was playing beautifully, everything was purring along and it was like a different game... until Saturday's patch. Now i'm getting random lag even in empty systems, the market windows are painfully slow and bringing up a pilot's history lags the game for 5-10 seconds.
I'm new to Eve, and quite patient so i'm not going to rant and rave but the game is broken for me right now and it's pretty frustrating when you spend more time on the 'workarounds' forum than ingame.
Is this happening to others? Any feedback appreciated.
Thanks.
p.s. new to forums too, so apologies if this should've gone somewhere else.

So, i guess this isn't a common problem anymore, judging by the lack of response ( am i posting in the wrong place maybe?). This morning it's unplayable for me, i can't even check my orders because it just locks up... so strange because i bought this new system last week and it was running great until Saturday.
I tried what CCP suggested about setting cache to low and interval to one, but i'm convinced it's not my computer or connection, and this makes no difference. It doesn't even start up quickly anymore.
It's a laptop i'm using and i know they'll never be as good as desktops but it's a decent one with dual 2.5s, 4 gigs, and an 8800gtx.
Any advice would be welcome because i can't play the game right now.
Thanks.

various issues can cause that.
Your Connection (DSL modem or so) could have degraded. Switching it off for 30 sec should reestablish a new Handshake.
For Eve, try deleting Cache, not just set the size of cache. Startup gets slower over time when the cache fills. Ingame hit ESC somewhere in the menu is a "clear cache" option. That could also fix it.
Did your PC Config change ? Firewalls and Antivirus stuff needs a new "allow that program?" after each patch due to changed CRCS and stuff. The Patch also might be worse for you.
Currently there seem to be some Issues, but its less bad with the Saturday Patch tbh.

Great. Clearing the cache seems to have sorted it. Everything back to how it was. Thanks again.
