I will do some more tests to see when this 'default back' is occuring and post some more info.

Ah right ok then, I've done the same. I've just checked and my Cat settings have remained the same so definitely not seeing that on my system, sorry!
Up to five missions sounds about right. I found that if I stayed on the same mission the drop was far less noticeable (slight stutter creeps in around the third playthrough sometimes, but not immediately present), but if I move about between quick missions the performance gets steadily worse after the third or fourth, dropping in fps/general performance by around 50%.
I don't get it when I play campaign either, which coupled with the fact the degradation is far less present when repeating several attempts at a single mission, leads me to suspect it might be a terrain loading issue. Staying in the same general 'mission area' seems to prevent the degradation or at least mitigate it - if you load several mission areas you start to see a hit.
Be nice to to hear from anyone who may be having similar trouble so we can compare reports.
