I've been playing Eve for over a year and have never noticed a performance issue as severe as it is now.
When I first log in, the frame rate is up around 60-70fps in open space. Within 5 minutes, this has dropped to less than 20fps with massive screen freezes being the norm.
Has anyone else recently noticed something similar and does anyone know what might be causing this massive drop in performance? Could it be something to do with the new location of the cache folder? Something in the last patch? It's really driving me nuts.
My specs are roughly:
P4 3.0 GHz
1GB RAM
GeForce 7800GTX
30GB free disk space
Incidently I can run Doom 3 in high detail level with bump maps, specular lighting, and V sync at a constant 40-60fps at 1280 x 1024. I dont notice such a performance drop with any other program.
All comments welcome.

Thanks for the reply. Misery loves company 
It's good to know that I'm not losing my mind and that it's not just my client that has had recent issues. I'm hoping that the next patch will sort it our or, failing that, that Trinity's new graphics engine will allow my Graphics Card to pump the frame rate up to where a modern game should be.

This is what I call Memory Leak. Since Revelations I'm suffering from it. After a while it becomes unplayable, and something as basic as switching chat windows makes the game freeze.
A solution will be great.

I had the same problem. I upgraded my video drivers, upgraded directx to 10, and defraged my hard drive. works great now.

Maybe Direct X 10 is the way forward. I'll let you know what happens.

I'm not getting anything like this but i've just tried playing on my girlfriends pc which is nearly identical apart from it uses Dx9 and it seems to be getting slower after about 30 minutes. Obviously not a brilliant diagnosis, there could be a whole lot of other things besides the Dx version but that's the most obvious difference. There are new nvidia drivers out recently, have you installed them using the recommended method of completley removing the old ones and restarting before installing the new ones? Graphics drivers are one big difference between DX9-10 people.

Ok, I've sorted it now.
Turns out it wasn't a problem with Eve at all but with my processor. It had gotten a little too caked with dust and was overheating after a few minutes of Eve time. None of my other games crank the processor heat up quite so high which is why I didn't notice on Doom 3.
So if you're finding that Eve is slowing down after a finite time, this could be the reason.
