Yea, I've thought of that...but like I said, the single maxed core is rarely at 100%. The usage looks the same from the early parts of the game when it runs at 60fps and late when I'm down to 6fps. I see almost no connection between slowdown and system usage. Only thing that goes up as the game progresses is RAM usage on my graphics card. It goes from ~300MB to 800MB but my card has 2GB so it's not even close to using it all. I'm just at a complete loss as to what's going

So I've noticed that later in game slows down (~6-15 fps) [e digicons]XD[/e] while playing with my friend who masses fighter/bomber wings. At first I thought my system just wasn't able to handle it which was surprising since I have a 2.2Ghz quad-core. But after playing with my second monitor enabled (with system monitors not the game), I noticed that during the slowdown of my 8 hyperthreaded cores, only 1 was being utilized more than 50% at any given time and it ranged from 50%
