Issues, Workarounds & Localization

Recently i started doing a round of consolidating all my stuffs, and when i went to repackage the bunch of modules my client was in near-lockup for a couple minutes and my frame rate was 0.8 fps for the duration. It is not because i have a crappy PC, doing this used to only take like mere seconds. It seems like it is something in the coding was changed, and now it completely bottoms out the client every time. Unless i'm in the very small minority that deals with hundreds of modules? (sorta like you thought was the case with 90% scaling)

Reproduction steps:
Take several hundred modules.
Repackage them.
Stack them.

Not sure why i'm even bothering giving this feedback, given CCP's latest "we did it because we wanted to, regardless of the feedback from SiSi" blog and that i'll be long gone before they even consider 'fixing' it...

Jesus tap-dancing Christ!? I just starting rummaging through my corp hanger of stockpiled mods/guns/drones/ammo today -- the OP is right. My comps not the fastest, but it hasn't tanked in frames like that since, well, ever that I can recall. "Stack All" even needs to be selected twice for it to kick in. Seems the inventory has a real problem handling populated containers/bays and such, way more than I've seen before. Wasn't like this a month ago.

I think I see what the issue is, at least on my end. I think a substantial amount of the excessive frame loss is from having multiple containers open simultaneously.

In my corp hanger, I have three divisions devoted to being a weapons and charges cache. First two contain 5 freight containers each. Containers for charges in the first division, drones for the second. Charge containers can have anywhere from 300,000 units per stack to 100. The third division contains something like twelve or so freight containers, those are for modules. Some containers have nothing in them if I don't have those said items yet, though many of them have as much as 30-50 stacks.

Normally, to save time, I keep all of the containers open as tabs in the same window above my corp hanger window. If I do that, moving/clicking/modifying or doing anything to that window causes severe momentary frame drops, the worst of which lasting upwards to 20 seconds where the game seems to simply freeze in place. However, if I keep just one or two containers open, the frame drops are much smaller, though they still happen. "Stack All" still needs to be commanded twice in the container windows, but in every other inventory location, it works on first attempt.

tl;dr

The lag is virtually gone with just one or two containers open containing many stacks. Having 20+ said containers open at once seems to aggravate the UI.

To be complete...
Normally, I get ~80fps (running L4 combat missions) to ~120fps (sitting idle in station)
Interval preset set to immediate and I have Vsync off from NVidia control panel (I don't like Vsync)
Eve ran across two displays in full windowed (3840x1080)

Processor is an ASUS i5 3.2GHz (2 cores, 4 logical processors)
Windows 7 64bit Home Premium
Eve installed on the boot drove, a Seagate 1TB internal
8.0GB DDR3
EVGA GTX 660 SC2 w/ 3GB VRAM
ISP is through At&t Wireless, generally I get 1.6-1.8MB download speeds, not sure what the upstream speeds are

One more thing to note, I usually only play for 1-2 hours per day, though I have been having closed socket errors ever few days. I haven't had more than one per play session, but I will say that my comp is having to use a wireless adapter since the At&t technician didn't have an Ethernet cord long enough to stretch from the router to my room...to my disdain as I hate the thought of WiFi on my desktop. Service with them hasn't been very reliable -- adapter keeps losing power, internet outages every week or so, etc. Not sure if that's relevant, but just in case.
