Ok, been on trial for 5-6 days, already sporting a cruiser and doing lvl 2 missions. But.... the game is hardly playable. Any new window I open, any market transaction, any NPC exploding, any loot can opening, almost any "event" actually results in a 2-5 second freezing of the game. Even if I'm in the hangar with all windows closed (except sidebars) and chat minimized, or even in completely empty space after I finished a mission and there's nothing but me and some rocks left, once or twice a minute it'll freeze for a couple seconds while I just stand there and look at my ship. I'm not in a high-pop system like Jita, in fact I rarely see other players at the stations I frequent (in The Citadel).
I've defragged and scanned the hard drive, have 2GB DDR (game only allocates 256k though  ), 800XT graphics card (256k ram), and FPS is not a problem at all. Only freezing. In fact I can play Oblivion all day long on pretty high setting without a hitch so it definitely isn't my PC. I also have a fast cable connection.
Seems like any time the server takes a second to reply or any time data from the hard drive is needed the game freezes, which is plain retarded from a game design persepctive (especially with over 1.5GB memory unused). Also a blank window or a slightly out of date window are 10x better than a frozen game if the server is slow to respond.
So anything I can do to fix this garbage or is this just how it runs? I like the game but not planning to pay for something that freezes every time I click.

I also have had this problem as of late, not often, but it just randomly happens, usually when game population is over 20K i've noticed... I was in a low population system, less the 7 people at the time. Happened to me and everyone i was playing with. Not sure what caused it, but it made the game completely unplayable for all of us.

Weird, for me it's all the time regardless where I am or what time of day (even way off-peak). Happens everywhere along the way on long courier missions too. Jita in paticular is a little worse, but not much. I think I have the "Jita everywhere" syndrome

It happens to me also. Computer above specs and 6 meg download cable. It has been happening more and more often lately, and not just Jita (but it is worse there for sure). I get video lockups where I can't click anything for a few seconds, not real fun.

I downloaded the game through the trial account and have the same problem, I'm usually in a rather low populated system, but it happens anyway. In base, looking at the market or fighting rats in space.
I've noticed that it happens when you; open the market tab, blow up an enemy ship, warp to a location, docking at a station or using a warpgate....it happens more but I can't think of any more examples right now.
In other words when the client has to request a large amount of information from the server. The client should be able to do this with out locking up. Even if it lagged a bit it would be a major improvement since you aren't locked out from your controls. It's rather painful to get a 3-5 second lockup after each rat kill.
