my frame rate doesn't drop, it is around 30, the game just freezes every few seconds (3-4) since the upgrade.

http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3421080547 2.52 mbps down, 0.83 mbps up, ping 32ms

it still freezes every 3-4 seconds. It's become almost unplayable.

I've tried Firefox, but the battle menu screen flashes an oscilates between battles. Tried Chrome, but even with disabling flash to increase frame rate, the game pauses every 3 seconds for a second.
