I gave LAA a try even though it does the same thing as the 4GB patch. Didn't work.
Anyways, I spent 4 hours (IRL time) slow boating back to Pearl at 256x TC and once I made it back to home port and started the next patrol things are all back to normal.
I really wish there was a MOD available that would allow you to instantly "End the Patrol" anywhere for pain in the butt issues like this.
I suspect the problem is based on number of objects that the generates and tracks during a patrol. The more stuff you encounter the (especially in regard to land and ports with lots of little things) that the game continues to stack up keeping track of everything throughout the patrol thus the reason for the laggy TC sometimes and not others.
That is all a speculation and hunch work though.
