My Game is currently undergoing large patches of FPS lag, as well as crashing frequently. This did not use to be a problem before this update. So far I have gone 3 depths into FSC, and have crashed twice and had to play though 1 &1/2 levels in nigh unplayable lag...
Game keeps on crashing.

Had my first ever Spiral
Had my first ever Spiral Knights crash due to the lag / freezing / stuttering and I wasn't even on FSC. (doing Royal Jelly Palace)
I've a good connection (solid 4 bars) so the issue(s) doesn't appear to be connection, but more a Java related or frame refresh rate issue. First level of RJP fairly smooth, but towards the elevator it started the odd freeze (about half a second), into the next level and the freezes were more and more frequent causing deaths due to the character running onto spikes registering "in game" but not being refreshed "on Screen" and thus couldn't avoid it.
Got to the final battle before the elevator down to Royal Jelly King and the game simply stopped responding, had to ctrl, alt, delete out to task manager and manually kill the Java process (was using 27% processor on a quad core system and 720MB+ of Ram at this point).
This issue renders the game pretty unplayable and needs urgently looking into.

Same here.
Spiral Knights crashes has about 1ce every 3 weeks, but it has crashed 3 times already! All I was doing was playing Blast Network, 3 bombs went off at once, and my client crashed. I can't play my favorite event now! Hurry and fix it please.

Same problem(s)
^ I had the exact same problem as Supermetalmario. Not only did I lag unbearably in FSC, but my game crashed as it was supposedly adding me to a game in BN. I restarted SK, and then suddenly I was back 30 seconds into the game - only to be caught in the next lag spike and was forced to watch the counter count down the seconds whilst I knew I was probably being brutally and shamelessly killed. It made me sad, so I quit. I've been D/C'd before but only due to my own internet problems, this is definitely since the update.. aaand I see the SK announcement in-game just now. *reads*
//[edit] since I can't access the preview server, I felt I should add that these problems aren't just occurring in the two places listed above. As soon as I log in, in that ready room, my screen glitches and freezes up. When I walk around in the haven, people's letters are blocky, just like this guy took a screenshot of: http://i.imgur.com/iipXg.jpg. On the scoreboards in Lockdown, the letters in some people's names were blocked out and certain numbers were filled in, and white fuzzy letters appeared outside of the scoreboard. I wish I had taken a screenshot, but this is another instance where it crashed and I had to task manage my way out of it.

I'm experiencing this problem
I'm experiencing this problem as well.
Same experience here - tried playing FSC twice after today's patch, only to see FPS stuttering get progressively worse over time and memory consumption creep up to about 750MB (on Low detail.) Just when the FPS sputtered to the point where the game was barely playable, the client crashed and the window closed (though the process remained on the Task Manager list, consuming massive amounts of memory and CPU cycles, until I manually killed it.)
