Ever since to the movement of the cache system, whenever I change chat tabs, open character sheet, open d-scan, open skill queue, ANYTHING INVOLVING THE UI will drop me from a constant 60 FPS to 1 anywhere from 1-5 seconds, this is repeatable in my case.

Info I feel relevant:
Full cache downloaded
Single client running
not using zone alarm
not using fraps or anything like that, just the built in FPS monitor
have ran the client repair tool numerous times

i7 2700k processor (ran stock and overclocked, ample cooling)
radeon HD 7870 (ample cooling)
16GB of ram

Maybe related or not, but I've had a consistent frame hit every time I do anything, even clicking, on the UI since they overhauled it. By overhauled, I mean when they changed the general look of it to what it is now, like when they replaced the color sliders with the color themes, added in the dynamic transparency effects, redid the NeoCom icons, and so on. The hit is generally mild and almost forgettable once you get used to it. You're hits sound much worse than what I've been seeing though, so you issue may be a different one exacerbating by/because of the other.

I've seen the same thing since the initial UI updates. Havent found any sort of fix other than using hotkeys as much as possible. Any mouse click interaction results in massive fps drop.
