The game has some pretty bad memory leaks. Disney is aware of them and just hasn't fixed them. If the game begins to get slower and slower on your machine over time the odds are that you have experienced a memory leak. This means that the game is consuming more and more memory as you play. After a couple hours online the game is likely using most of your available memory. You can check by checking with Task manager on windows. Press Ctrl-Alt-Del then select task manager. Choose processes and look at Pirates.exe. If it is using several hundred megs or more of memory shut it down and restart. I am usually connected all day and I usually have to restart a couple of times each day to get the performance back.
