Framerate Drop Since Update 4?

I'm having serious FPS issues, especially in Cyrodil.

Doesn't seem to make any sense, just tonight I was with four other people sieging an empty keep and sitting at 45 FPS, then suddenly I drop to 8 FPS for no apparent reason. No new players had come along to join us, no enemy players had entered the area to defend the keep. Then over about 20-30 seconds my FPS gradually returned to 40+.


Then on other occasions I will be in a large group at 40 FPS and over the span of a minute my FPS will slowly get lower and lower until its around 2-7 FPS (slide show) then suddenly jump back up to 40fps.
Again nothing has changed, still in the same size group in the same location and fighting the same number of enemies.

No obvious cause.
Completely random occurrence, with no correlation to what is happening in game.


This is a constant problem for me, tonight I had to stop playing because the sudden FPS drops were so severe, I simply couldn't function in a battle scenario.



Edit: while changing my video settings will give a higher FPS it has no effect on this phenomenon.

Just because you are no where near a pain train or even in the same campaign...if the server goes down...it takes you with it. No one escapes the pain train.
