[QUOTE=quill_fire;16378]turning the game off for a bit has nothing to do w/it. [QUOTE]

This is easy enough to prove:

CTRL + ALT + DELETE
Select Windows Task Manager (depends on which verion of Windows you're running)
Select the Performance tab

Take note of the CPU usage & Physical Memory while running normal programs
Then take note of it when you start up the pirates application
Then take note of 2 it hours later

Guarenteed, there is a significant memory leak the longer you run this application. That proves true for a number of programs that you run - however it's more succeptible to causing "lag" because of the way the game is coded. It's extremely hard to diagnose exactaly what part of the game causes this memory leak - worse than searching for a needle in a haystack.
