	Details: Sometimes, when I’m in [[~~Owl’s~~ Head]], the frame rate is so severe that it is like watching a slideshow. I can barely walk, and sometimes it locks up completely. Logging out and then back in seems to clear up the problem until I have played for about 30 minutes, but then I start getting really bad frame rate again.
