I've gone through the technical problems thread (I've uninstalled the game, updated my graphics drivers, and my Java, then reinstalled the game, and I'm runing at the lowest settings), and I contine to have graphical problems with the game. My computer specs are:

Windows VIsta Home Premium (32bit)
Intel Core 2 Quad, Q6600 @ 2.4 GHz
2 GB RAM

NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT
1 GB

One thing I noticed is that it seems that only one core of my processor is running the whole, game and that it is nearly always running at maximum capacity. I wouldn't be surprised if soothing was wrong with my system configuration, but I have no idea what it could be.

I also noticed that just sitting at the login screen javaw.exe seems to just about max out one core.

I'm having this problem also,

I'm having this problem also, but its not with graphics its with lag. Either Java or Spiral Knights used to run all 6 cores at about 30% each, but now it only sticks to 1 core at 100% and it lags every time I move, even more while fighting. What could of caused it to only use 1 core? I didn't change any settings...

This can happen with various programs. In the Task Manager right click javaw.exe and select Set Affinity. By de-selecting the processor core that the game is focusing on you can effectively "bouce" Java to the other cores and it will usually redistribute evenly. After that just re-enable the affinity for that core.
