With the induction of free to play games to steam, I downloaded Champs Online. I've played for at least 12 hours without issue. BUT, sometimes when I'm in the character creator, audio will suddenly cut out and the game will begin to run terribly ie below 10 fps. I alt-tabbed and checked my CPU usage, which is at 100%, usually at 80-90 when this doesn't happen. This happens more than I would like it too and it a huge inconvenience. Any suggestions?

Rig: AMD Athlon 4000+ 2.4Ghz, 2GB DDR1, GeForce 9500 GT
