I have been getting frame drops like crazy, and I can't do anything fun in SK anymore. SK will take up to 1million memory, which brings my CPU usage up to 100% for some time, and during that time;
1. My shield stays up when I'm not pressing the button.
2. Cannot control movement.
3. Often run into things.
5. Any action does not execute properly. (Dash won't work, attack doesn't work)
This happens every 5 seconds. Most people think I suck at LD, or pve because of this. It has to be fixed. NOW.

Computer Specs:
Memory: 4096MB RAM
Processor: Intel(R) Core (TM) i3-2370M CPU @2.40GHz (4 CPUs), ~ 2.4GHz
System Model: Inspirion N5050
Graphics Card: Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000

I also am experiencing this, but on the web client AND steam launcher. But instead of 5 seconds it's 3 seconds of every second of the game. My theory is that it has something to do with the new Java update that has "apparentally" been fixed. Before the Java update Spiral Knights was running so smoothly for me, now I can't even play without countless interruptions!

Needs to be fixed ASAP.

SK doesn't multithread, x64 java for SK sucks, java keeps updating to be worse and worse because "security issues"...

Lessons learnt : Don't update java.
