To put this quite simply, my game starts out fine, but after a while, more so if a lot of text is being displayed due to being on a high-pop server, the dreamseeker client will start lagging incredibly hard from text being displayed on screen. Certain admin functions that create a lot of text in the game I'm on will make it a lot worse, as well as alt-tabbing and coming back to the window. Basically, the client will start lagging displaying text, and try to "catch up", writing up new sentences at an incredibly slow pace, this going on until it's caught up with the backlog of text that gets created from the lag.

This is a CPU issue, as I've noticed my CPU usage skyrocketing whenever this kind of lag occurs. As an example, http://i.imgur.com/tXH61xi.png?1 the three spikes here were caused by trying to view someone's info in a game, using a function which displays a few lines of text in the chatlog.

I am on windows 7, my CPU is an i5-4670, and I am running an up-to-date version of the BYOND client. So far, I have not encountered anyone with a problem similar to mine, and so any help or insight on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
