What I mean is that it is similar to a memory leak issue in that it will be running fine and then eventually your FPS gets worse and worse until its unplayable, often culminating in a total lockup or crash.

In this case, there isn't really a transition to the super low performance -- it just "hits" and then it stays there for a bit or for good until I restart the game. So what I'm saying is that the end result is the same, even if it doesn't act exactly like a memory leak.

Usually the first time I hop in game it works fine for the first 5 minutes or so, then will suddenly dip into the single digits for no reason. It then occasionally "pops" back into normal FPS, but eventually gets stuck in single digits until I restart the game. If I quit a mission and restart it, more often than not it will START in "low fps" mode right from the beginning.
